Aws-iam-authenticator: github release v0.5.2 does not include executable assets

[dsayling]

v0.5.1 (and previous releases) contained the executables assets in the release for ease of downloading

e.g. in 0.5.1

This causes any automation that's depending on the github release to contain the assets to fail.

A quick solution would be to freeze version to v0.5.1
For those of you (like me) who came here from CircleCI aws-eks orbs, you can freeze the version by adding.

- aws-eks/update-kubeconfig-with-authenticator:
    authenticator-release-tag: v0.5.1
    cluster-name: my-eks-cluster

Found the same issue this morning. This causes the CircleCI aws-eks orb to fail on command aws-eks/update-kubeconfig-with-authenticator unless you specify an older release tag.

chmod +x ./aws-iam-authenticator

Hardcoding the version is a valid solution, but I would rather put the version string into the CI environment and reference it in the orb configuration. Otherwise moving to a new versions means to update every repo using it.

unfortunately, if you use update-container-image, there appears to be no way to version-lock the aws-iam-authenticator currently: https://circleci.com/developer/orbs/orb/circleci/aws-eks#jobs-update-container-image

with the latest fix from @lokst you can also update the orb:

orbs:
  aws-eks: circleci/[email protected]

just tested it, this has the same effect

I republished the release with the executables.
