Error Output

provider.kubernetes: Failed to configure: No Auth Provider found for name "gcp"

I tried several options, even with statically defined credentials the same error is thrown.

Here is my kubectl config ...

- name: gke_xxxx_us-central1-a_primary
  user:
    auth-provider:
      config:
        access-token: xxxx
        cmd-args: config config-helper --format=json
        cmd-path: /Users/matthias/google-cloud-sdk/bin/gcloud
        expiry: 2017-06-10T06:13:35Z
        expiry-key: '{.credential.token_expiry}'
        token-key: '{.credential.access_token}'
      name: gcp

I think I found the cause. The official K8S Go library decided to make the gcp auth provider an optional dep.

ref: kubernetes/client-go#95
ref: kubernetes/kubernetes#41532
ref: coreos/tectonic-forum#99

So I guess the Kubernetes provider just needs to import k8s.io/client-go/plugin/pkg/client/auth/gcp ?
