oidc-login not found on Linux

[unyieldinggrace]

I have kubectl installed and the oidc-login plugin installed via krew. When I run kubectl oidc-login, it is found just fine. But when I run kubefwd I get an error saying that the oidc-login plugin is not found.

I'm not sure why this would be. I don't think kubefwd is using its own separate instance of kubectl without the plugin installed, because kubefwd seems to find the context based on the kubectl config.

Any ideas? Do I need to specify a path to a plugin dir or something?

@unyieldinggrace kubefwd does not use kubectl , it communicates with with Kubernetes directly using the API.

It looks like your oidc-login plugin is needed for authentication, might take a look at this: lensapp/lens#6317 (comment)
