Question

After installing KubeCTL and KubeLogin using the following line

    - id: install-aks-cli
      run: |
       az aks install-cli --install-location ${{ inputs.kube-ctl-install-location }} --kubelogin-install-location ${{ inputs.kube-login-install-location }}
       echo "$PATH"
       export PATH="/home/actions/azure-kubectl:$PATH"
       export PATH="/home/actions/azure-kubelogin:$PATH"
       echo "$PATH"
       echo "Installed AKS CLI Tools - KubeLogin and KubeCTL"
  shell: bash

I keep getting the following error when trying this action out

/home/actions/runner-state/_work/_temp/17d9e0a3-3af9-49c4-8c59-b95a7f4271e2.sh: line 1: kubelogin: command not found

When i look at the paths i see the following

/home/actions/azure-kubelogin:/home/actions/azure-kubectl:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin

It seems to me i am adding the strings toogether and just replacing the existing as opposed to appending an additional system path?

I've also tried the following and had no luck

echo "/home/actions/azure-kubectl" >> GITHUB_PATH

Appreciate any advice on how to do this. My runner is using linux

Changing the PATH (or any other environment variable) has no effect on subsequent steps as they run in new shells. You need to manipulate the PATH for those via $GITHUB_PATH like this:

echo "${{ inputs.kube-ctl-install-location }}" >>"${GITHUB_PATH}"

Note that the default is ~/.azure-kubectl/
