executable kubelogin failed with exit code 1-CodePudding

I'm using an Kubernetes server with API version (1.25.2) . When I try to do a kubectl command getting the below error

TRONBQQ2:~$ kubectl get nodes
error: unknown flag: --environment
error: unknown flag: --environment
error: unknown flag: --environment
error: unknown flag: --environment
error: unknown flag: --environment
Unable to connect to the server: getting credentials: exec: executable kubelogin failed with exit code 1

From the same terminal I'm able to access the Kubernetes server with version 1.23.12.

Is this due to an old kubectl clieint version?.

TRONBQQ2:~$ kubectl version --client
Client Version: version.Info{Major:"1", Minor:"19", GitVersion:"v1.19.4", GitCommit:"d360454c9bcd1634cf4cc52d1867af5491dc9c5f", GitTreeState:"clean",

kubectl is already the newest version (1.19.4-00). 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 313 not upgraded.

I even tried to upgrade the kubectl . Even after upgrade, version remains in v1.19.4. Not sure this is the reason for the above mentioned error

I tried to reproduce the same issue in my environment and got the below results

I did the following issue to resolve the issue

This issue will occur due to the version, we have to upgrade the latest version

I have set the subscription id to AKS cluster using below command

az account set --subscription "subscription_id"
az aks get-credentials --resource-group <rg-name> --name <cluster-name> --admin

My current AKS version is 1.23.12

My Kubectl version is

kubectl version --client

This error will occur based on the kube/config file and the config file should be exist

cd ~/.kube/.
vi config

I have the config file configured we won't get any error

Below is my config file

apiVersion: v1
    clusters:
    - cluster:
        certificate-authority-data: XXXXXXXXX
        server: https:cluster123.hcp.azmk8s.io.443
      name: cluster123
    contexts:
    - context:
        cluster: cluster123
        user: clusterUser_Alldemorg_cluster123
      name: komali-test
    current-context: cluster123
    kind: Config
    preferences: {}
        client-certificate: XXXXXX
        client-key-Data: XXXXXXX

I have followed the below commands to access the kubectl commands

kubelogin convert-kubeconfig -l azurecli

Try to check whether the the following command is printing the below options.

>>>kubelogin -h

Login to azure active directory and populate kubeconfig with AAD tokens

Usage:
  kubelogin [flags]
  kubelogin [command]

Available Commands:
    completion         Generate the autocompletion script for the specified shell
   convert-kubeconfig convert kubeconfig to use exec auth module
   get-token          get AAD token
  help               Help about any command
  remove-tokens      Remove all cached tokens from filesystem

 Flags:
     -h, --help          help for kubelogin
     --logtostderr   log to standard error instead of files (default true)
 -v, --v Level       number for the log level verbosity
  --version       version for kubelogin

It seems I was having a different kubelogin and missed the above specified Command Options. So I installed the new version of kubelogin using

 az aks install-cli

Also export the below path

export PATH="/usr/local/bin:$PATH"
