invalid skaffold config with v1.27.0

[MarcoSchaar]

Hi
I'm facing some issues while trying to run existing builds with updated version v1.27.0

Expected behavior

successful operation like with v1.26.0

Actual behavior

$ skaffold run --profile build-app '--filename=./skaffold.yaml'
invalid skaffold config: skaffold config named "/home/jenkins/agent/workspace/<folder>/skaffold.yaml" referenced file "k8s/*.yaml" that could not be found. Verify that file "k8s/*.yaml" referenced in config "/home/jenkins/agent/workspace/<folder>/skaffold.yaml" exists and the path and naming are correct.

Information

• Skaffold version: 1.27.0
• Operating system: alpine 3.14
• Installed via: skaffold.dev
• Contents of skaffold.yaml:

apiVersion: skaffold/v2beta18
kind: Config
...
profiles:
- name: build-app
  build:
    artifacts:
    - image: <image>
      context: <folder>
      kaniko:
        dockerfile: Dockerfile 
        image: gcr.io/kaniko-project/executor:debug
        volumeMounts:
        - name: kaniko-secret
          readonly: false
          mountpath: /kaniko/.docker
          subpath: ""
          mountpropagation: null
          subpathexpr: ""
        - name: kaniko-secret
          readonly: false
          mountpath: /kaniko/ssl/certs/<cert>
          subpath: <cert>
          mountpropagation: null
          subpathexpr: ""
    tagPolicy:
      envTemplate:
        template: '{{.APP_VERSION}}'
    cluster:
      pullSecretName: kaniko-secret
      namespace: jenkins

Steps to reproduce the behavior

1. a clonable repository with the sample skaffold project
2. skaffold run --profile <profile>
3. ...

after installing package "ncurses"

@MarcoSchaar from that error, your skaffold.yaml does not seem to have a deploy: section setup and so Skaffold's default is being used instead. The kubectl defaults are the equivalent of:

deploy:
  kubectl:
   manifests: ["k8s/*.yaml"]

We need more information here, particularly the full skaffold.yaml (with any sensitive info redacted).

Thanks for reply. @briandealwis
I would rather bet that the issue is not with deploy section.
it might be something related to tput colors command that works fine locally but some issue occurs in a container environment.
version v1.26.0 works in both

[MarcoSchaar]

dear support team,
my bad ...
switching from command skaffold run --profile <profile> to skaffold build --profile <profile> helped to get successful build with v1.28.1
in addition I've set a default environment variable $TERM

thanks for the update @MarcoSchaar.
