Description Michal Fojtik 2016-05-02 10:19:26 UTC

Description of problem:

$ oc login https://api.dev-preview-int.openshift.com --token=xxx
Logged into "https://api.dev-preview-int.openshift.com:443" as "mfojtik" using the token provided.

Using project "mfojtik-blog".
error: mkdir /src: permission denied

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

$ oc version
oc v1.1.6
kubernetes v1.2.0-36-g4a3f9c5

This is happening on OSX (haven't tested the Linux binary). The 'oc' was installed from brew (but seems like it is pretty recent).

Actual results:

error: mkdir /src: permission denied


Expected results:

Should not see this error (where does it come from?)

Additional info:

This also happen when you download the 'oc' tarball from web console.

Comment 2 Michal Fojtik 2016-05-02 10:27:31 UTC

Also after this error, you're not logged in...

Comment 3 Yanping Zhang 2016-05-03 09:56:11 UTC

QE tried with many oc versions including oc v3.2.0.20, v1.1.3, v1.0.6 and so on, We can login successfully.
We think Michal may export KUBECONFIG uncorrectly, because after we exprot KUBECONFIG=/src, login will show error: mkdir /src: permission denied.
Pls check again, thanks!

I think you're right:

Σ~/.../openshift/sti-php ∎ echo $KUBECONFIG
/src/github.com/openshift/origin/openshift.local.certificates/admin/.kubeconfig

I have no idea where I do export this, but of course it is my problem. However, it would be nice to print what is wrong to user when the mkdir failed (it prints just /src, but it should print something like:

Failed to create kubeconfig under "/full/path". Please check the $KUBECONFIG variable.

Reassigning to Fabiano as a usability issue for the CLI.
