kubeconfig flag not working

[astingengo]

version that I'm using is 4.5.4

If running kubectl-minio_4.5.4_linux_amd64 --kubeconfig <file> init it will ignore my --kubeconfig file and it will say
The connection to the server localhost:8080 was refused - did you specify the right host or port?

this sounds like your local kubernetes API is not available, make sure it is running in localhost:8080 and that is correctly configured in the server field of your ~.kube/config file

You don't folow my comment.
I'm passing --kubeconfig so I don't have a ~/.kube/config file but I don't want one that's the reason I'm using --kubeconfig

can you try renaming kubectl-minio_4.5.4_linux_amd64 to kubectl-minio putting it in your PATH and then doing kubectl minio --kubeconfig and let us know if that solved your issue?

I already tried that hopping it will do the trick but the result was same

I think it is ignored on tenant commands as well
