Windows11下gke-gcloud-auth-plugin无法获取凭证的问题求助

在Windows 11系统中尝试用Kubectl连接GKE集群时，遇到gke-gcloud-auth-plugin相关认证错误，已按官方指引操作但问题未解决。

执行kubectl get pods -n NAMESPACE等资源查看命令时，报错如下：

F0814 16:43:55.031825   15116 cred.go:145] print credential failed with error: Failed to retrieve access token:: error parsing gcloud output: invalid character '\x1b' looking for beginning of value
Unable to connect to the server: getting credentials: exec: executable gke-gcloud-auth-plugin.exe failed with exit code 1 

已完成的排查/操作 #

1. 安装并验证gke-gcloud-auth-plugin
   通过gcloud components install gke-gcloud-auth-plugin安装插件，执行gcloud components list确认已安装：

$ gcloud components list

To install or remove components at your current SDK version [442.0.0], run:
  $ gcloud components install COMPONENT_ID
  $ gcloud components remove COMPONENT_ID

To update your SDK installation to the latest version [442.0.0], run:
  $ gcloud components update

2. 获取集群凭证
   执行gcloud container clusters get-credentials CLUSTER_NAME --zone ZONE_NAME生成kubeconfig，相关配置片段如下：

- name: gke_MY_PROJECT_ID_MY_REGION_MY_CLUSTER_NAME
  user:
    exec:
      apiVersion: client.authentication.k8s.io/v1beta1
      command: gke-gcloud-auth-plugin.exe
      installHint: Install gke-gcloud-auth-plugin for use with kubectl by following
        https://cloud.google.com/blog/products/containers-kubernetes/kubectl-auth-changes-in-gke
      provideClusterInfo: true

3. 环境变量与版本信息

• 已设置系统环境变量USE_GKE_CLOUD_AUTH_PLUGIN=TRUE
• 多次重装kubectl和gcloud，kubectl版本信息：

$ kubectl version
F0814 16:59:41.789555   37312 cred.go:145] print credential failed with error: Failed to retrieve access token:: error parsing gcloud output: invalid character '\x1b' looking for beginning of value
