Failed to download openAPI, could not find kubectl server version

Question

Hi,

Just recently, we started getting the below error in our Azure pipeline. I tried upgrading our AKS cluster version to the latest supported - 1.30.4, but still issue persists.

Error says could not find kubectl server version and failed to download OpenAPI. Does anyone have an idea how to resolve this?

Thank you.

Hi Medha Bhatt,

Welcome to the Microsoft Q&A Platform! Thank you for asking your question here.

This error typically occurs when the Kubernetes API server requires authentication, but the client hasn’t provided the necessary credentials. Ensure that your kubeconfig file is correctly configured and contains valid credentials for accessing the Kubernetes cluster.
Have you tried to deploy by turning off validation, you can use the --validate=false flag? If not, please try.

The error occurs when the token in ~/.kube/config is expired, so you should change the token in file config and try again.
