There are older versions of Google Cloud Platform tools: Docker

Question

After updating gcloud I get this warning, but how do I do it(Should I remove Docker)?

WARNING:   There are older versions of Google Cloud Platform tools on your system PATH.
  Please remove the following to avoid accidentally invoking these old tools:

  /Applications/Docker.app/Contents/Resources/bin/kubectl

I have this in my .zshrc:

# The next line updates PATH for the Google Cloud SDK.
if [ -f '/Users/<NAME>/google-cloud-sdk/path.zsh.inc' ]; then source '/Users/<NAME>/google-cloud-sdk/path.zsh.inc'; fi

# The next line enables shell command completion for gcloud.
if [ -f '/Users/<NAME>/google-cloud-sdk/completion.zsh.inc' ]; then source '/Users/<NAME>/google-cloud-sdk/completion.zsh.inc'; fi

[ -f ~/.fzf.zsh ] && source ~/.fzf.zsh

This happens because docker-for-mac installs a bin for kubectl, and gcloud-sdk also installs another bin with gcloud components install kubectl.

My recommendation is to uninstall kubectl as component from gcloud, overwrite the symlink from docker-for-mac, and only use the homebrew installed bin.

Try this commands:

gcloud components remove kubectl

brew install kubernetes-cli

brew link --overwrite kubernetes-cli
