Terraform-provider-helm: Can't read in-cluster config

Terraform Configuration Files

terraform {
  required_version = ">= 0.14"
  required_providers {
    kubernetes = {
      source = "kubernetes"
    }
    helm = {
      source  = "helm"
      version = "~> 1.3.2"
    }
  }
}
provider "kubernetes" {}

provider "helm" { }

Since this PR:
https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform-provider-helm/pull/378
The option to read kubernetes config from within the cluster is missing.
Use case:
I'm running terraform apply as part of a ci/cd pipeline running inside the kubernetes cluster,
That means, that terraform cmd is being run from a pod that has cluster-admin rights, and the service-account token is mounted.
I cannot specify the setting in_cluster that was once found on the provider definition.
What are my alternatives?
Thanks.

Thanks for opening this @Moshem123. The in-cluster config should get picked up if you set load_config_file to false and not supply any other config – did you try that?

Note that there are some changes coming to the provider block soon. I've made a note to document this use case more clearly.

Thanks, it works :)
I'll remove the option when the new provider version will be out thanks again !
