Getting "drift cannot run with multiple kubeconfig files" error even though only one kubeconfig is provided.

export KUBECONFIG=/c/Users/XXXXX/.kube/my_vk8s.yaml
$ helm drift all --log-level debug

Error: plugin "drift" exited with error

There is only 1 cluster defined in the kubeconfig file.

It shouldn’t, as I use the plugin the same way. Could you please check if it’s picking up the kubeconfig from somewhere else? (The path might be getting overridden.)

@nikhilsbhat That's tough when --log-level debug does not print the KUBECONFIG as seen by the plugin.
