bug: Interdependence between plugins?

[kronn]

Describe the Bug

> kubectl
No preset version installed for command kubectl
Please install a version by running one of the following:

asdf install oc 3.11.117

or add one of the following versions in your config file at /PATH/TO/REPO/.tool-versions
oc 4.8.0

> asdf install oc 3.11.117
oc 3.11.117 is already installed

Steps to Reproduce

I noticed that the calling kubectl (directly or indirectly through kubectx) broke after I installed oc 4.8.0. Uninstalling oc 4.8 fixes the issue.

I am however quite un-confident that this is the trigger. kubectl does not have any versions installed through asdf. There is only one version of it in the path that is too old (but needed) to be installable through asdf-kubectl.

Expected Behaviour

Plugins without installed version should not break things

Actual Behaviour

see above "Describe the bug"

asdf plugins affected (if relevant)

kubectl, kubectx, oc

OR maybe none of the above.

Interesting, I wasn't aware that the order matters (though it does make sense and is certainly preferable to full-blown dependency-mangement...).

I will try to change the order in my global .tool-versions and see if the error persists.

[kronn]

Well, I have stopped using the kubectl-plugin which removes all the shim-magic and therefore my problem. Turns out that I currently only need one version of kubectl, which I can "manage" by putting it into my PATH.

I could not resolve the problem by ordering the entries in the .tool-versions, but this may be my error, as I did not spent a lot of time to test thoroughly. A quick test did not resolve it and I realised I do not have any version of kubectl aside from my system-version installed.

Should this ticket stay here open as a reminder?
