Answer

No, there is no such method.

  • There is no way to specify the path to kubectl from the tridentctl side.
  • tridentctl searches for kubectl starting from the beginning of the $PATH
  • Make sure that kubectl is accessible from the $PATH.
    • If the $PATH is not set, or if kubectl is found but cannot be executed, the following error happens:
    • Error: could not find the Kubernetes CLI: exec: "kubectl": executable file not found in $PATH

Additional Information

Trident installation fails with error "could not find the Kubernetes CLI"
