<p>What setting up a new Kubernetes endpoint and clicking "Verify Connection" the error message:
"The Kubconfig does not contain user field. Please check the kubeconfig. " - is always displayed. </p>

<p>Have tried multiple ways of outputting the config file to no avail. I've also copy and pasted many sample config files from the web and all end up with the same issue. Anyone been successful in creating a new endpoint? </p>

  <p>I try to reproduce, however, I can't do it.<br>
  I'm not sure, however, I can guess it might the mismatch of the version of the cluster/kubectl which you download by the download <code>task/kubeconfig</code>.<br>
  Workaround might be like this:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>kubectl version in your local machine and check the current server/client version</li>
  <li>specify the same version as the server on the download task. (by default it is 1.5.2)</li>
  <li>See the log of your release pipeline which is fail, you can see which <code>kubectl</code> command has been executed, do the same thing on your local machine with fitting your local pc's environment.</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p><strong>The point is, before go to the VSTS, download the kubectl by yourself</strong>.<br>
  Then, put the kubeconfg on the default folder like <code>~/.kube/config</code> or set environment variables <code>KUBECONFIG</code> to the binary.<br>
  Then execute kubectl get nodes and make sure if it works. </p>
  
  <p>My kubeconfig is different format with yours. If you use AKS, <code>az aks install-cli</code> command and <code>az aks get-credentials</code> command.<br>

  <p><strong>If it works locally, the config file must work on the VSTS task environment</strong>. (or this task or VSTS has a bug)</p>
