Description

TestUserAgentHeaderInK8sRESTClientConfig appears to fail when you have a bad .kube/config

In my case, current context was no longer a valid cluster.

Ideally the unit tests wouldn't rely on the current k8s environment.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Modify the test to mock or avoid reading the user's kube config so it does not depend on the external environment.
