<p>I have a <code>k8s_object</code> rule to apply a deployment to my Google Kubernetes Cluster. Here is my setup:</p>

<pre><code>load("@io_bazel_rules_docker//nodejs:image.bzl", "nodejs_image")
nodejs_image(
    name = "image",
    data = [":lib", "//:package.json"],
    entry_point = ":index.ts",
)

load("@io_bazel_rules_k8s//k8s:object.bzl", "k8s_object")
k8s_object(
  name = "k8s_deployment",
  template = ":gateway.deployment.yaml",
  kind = "deployment",
  cluster = "gke_cents-ideas_europe-west3-b_cents-ideas",
  images = {
    "gcr.io/cents-ideas/gateway:latest": ":image"
  },
)
</code></pre>

<p>But when I run <code>bazel run //services/gateway:k8s_deployment.apply</code>, I get the following error</p>

<pre><code>INFO: Analyzed target //services/gateway:k8s_deployment.apply (0 packages loaded, 0 targets configured).

<p><strong>error: no objects passed to apply</strong>
It doesn't push the new image to the Google Container Registry.</p>

<p>Strangely, this worked a few days ago. But I didn't change anything.</p>

<p>Here is the full code if you need to take a closer look: <a href="https://github.com/flolude/cents-ideas/blob/069c773ade88dfa8aff492f024a1ade1f8ed282e/services/gateway/BUILD" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://github.com/flolude/cents-ideas/blob/069c773ade88dfa8aff492f024a1ade1f8ed282e/services/gateway/BUILD</a></p>

<h1>Update</h1>

<p>I don't know if this has something to do with this issue but when I run</p>

<pre><code>gcloud auth configure-docker
</code></pre>

<p>I get some warnings:</p>

<pre><code>WARNING: `docker-credential-gcloud` not in system PATH.
gcloud's Docker credential helper can be configured but it will not work until this is corrected.

<p>I had <code>google-cloud-sdk</code> installed via <code>snap install</code>. What I did to make it work is to remove <code>google-cloud-sdk</code> via</p>

<pre><code>snap remove google-cloud-sdk
</code></pre>

<p>and then followed <a href="https://cloud.google.com/sdk/docs/quickstart-debian-ubuntu#before-you-begin" rel="nofollow noreferrer">those instructions</a> to install it via</p>

<pre><code>sudo apt install google-cloud-sdk
</code></pre>

<p>Now it works fine</p>
