Currently, k9s requires a valid kubectl context to be set before starting. If no context is configured or the configured context is unavailable, k9s fails to start with connection errors.
This PR changes that behavior:
kubectl config use-contextbefore launching k9sUse case:
Switch between different clusters (homelab/work) without pre-configuring kubectl context. Simply start k9s and select the appropriate context from the UI.
Backward compatibility:
If a context is set via
kubectl config use-context xxx, k9s behavior is unchanged. It will still load the last used view or the view defined ink9s.defaultView. This change only affects users who have no current context configured.Changes:
