Kops: "config" file does not exist when creating cluster

[rot26]

Hi @justinsb et al. I am following your request to submit an issue.

When I create a cluster following the README.md instructions, I get the following error:

Create Cluster

${GOPATH}/bin/kops create cluster --cloud=aws --zones=us-west-2a --v=8 ${NAME}

STDOUT

Wow. So the root issue for me ended up being that I had my GOPATH set to

~/.go

(notice the "." prefix)
instead of

~/go

I'm glad we found the root cause! I'm going to leave this open while I fix it though - I don't think it will affect many people, but the regex is overly broad.

[stevezau]

I'm also getting this on the latest version but changing go path to ~/go does not fix it

[opennomad]

@stevezau I had to re-run the make for kops after relocating to new location. Then it worked

[justinsb]

Pretty sure this is fixed now - we tightened up the ignores to be e.g. -ignore="\\.DS_Store" -ignore="bindata\\.go" -ignore="vfs\\.go"
