gcloud 'no such file or directory'

On Ubuntu 20.04, gcloud installed with snap install google-cloud-sdk --classic...

Today it no longer works. Yesterday there was an auto update.

$ kubectl get all
Unable to connect to the server: error executing access token command "/snap/google-cloud-sdk/188/bin/gcloud config config-helper --format=json": err=fork/exec /snap/google-cloud-sdk/188/bin/gcloud: no such file or directory output= stderr=

Version 188 it is referencing is gone, and it is now at 190. (Version 189 is also present.)

I've uninstalled and deleted the .config/gcloud, and reinstalled, but still have the same error.

Any tips on where to look for that stale path?

The problem is that gcloud stores the absolete reference to the gcloud binary to ~/.kube/config. The solution is to replace /snap/google-cloud-sdk/.*/gcloud -> /snap/bin/gcloud in ~/.kube/config.

Example of accomplishing this with perl on the command line:

perl -i -p -e 's/\/snap\/google-cloud-(sdk|cli)\/.*?\/gcloud/\/snap\/bin\/gcloud/' ~/.kube/config
