CLI, wsk property get results in runtime error: index out of range Application exited unexpectedly error

[jameskim0987]

Both the wsk version from brew install wsk and the latest wsk from the releases.
I have been trying to install wsk and configure to start experimenting with the framework locally.
However, I'm running into a major issue.
After setting apihost and auth, I wanted to see if they were set correctly so I run the command:
wsk property get
and the output I get is this

runtime error: index out of range 
Application exited unexpectedly

I tried removing ~/.wskprops file, reinstalling wsk but I still get the same error.

This is the output of wsk property get --debug:

[.(*NamespaceService).List]:094:[Inf] Returning []namespaces: []whisk.Namespace(nil)
[cli/commands.getNamespace]:561:[Err] Client.Namespaces.List() failed: %!s(<nil>)
runtime error: index out of range
Application exited unexpectedly

On the documentation webpage (https://openwhisk.apache.org/documentation.html), it tells me to also have the --namespace argument but I get unknown flag: --namespace so I asked on the openwhisk slack channel and someone told me to drop the --namespace flag since it is not used anymore. However, towards the end of the debug message output, it seems like there is no namespace set and I'm not sure how to fix that problem.

Could I get some help?

[archanaagrawal14]

Can someone help on it?
I am also getting the same issue.

[style95]

Which OS are you guys using?
I have tested with the CLI-1.2.0 on Linux and gotten no error.

[archanaagrawal14]

I am using macOS.
According to me, the above problem is due to not able to set namespace.

[style95]

@archanaagrawal14 Are you using the m1 mac or amd64?
Anyway, you don't need to see the namespace.
The system will automatically recognize the namespace based on your auth(--auth) information.

[archanaagrawal14]

Using M2 chip
I am setting the auth info, but still getting the same issue mention in the above thread. I am trying to do it as guest.
As guest login is still supported?

[style95]

Are you using this version of CLI?
I have tested on my m1 mac but gotten no error as well.

whisk CLI version	2021-04-01T23:49:54.523+0000

You need to configure --auth and --apihost only.
Use this UUID and secret for the guest namespace.

[archanaagrawal14]

When the docker stop, I am getting this

When the docker is up,

It's showing unset cli version.
Can you tell how to set that or anything else wrong?

Also, while creating the action, it shows ok action created but when checking the action list, created action is not there.

[style95]

Have you tried with the CLI 1.2.0?

https://github.com/apache/openwhisk-cli/releases/tag/1.2.0

Are you able to run the wsk cli itself or des it exit?
