invalid memory address or nil pointer dereference when consuming a topic using a context about cli HOT 6 OPEN

Please update to v3.41.0 and let me know if that doesn't fix it.

from cli.

I still have the same issue with v3.42.0:

confluent - Confluent CLI

Version:     v3.42.0
Git Ref:     41bf3c3ed
Build Date:  2023-11-16T20:20:16Z
Go Version:  go1.21.0 X:boringcrypto (windows/amd64)
Development: false

confluent kafka topic consume <topicName> --context dev
Error: runtime error: invalid memory address or nil pointer dereference

from cli.

Looks like our telemetry wasn't able to collect that runtime error and I'm unable to replicate it. Here are a few things you can try:

1. Give the command another run. If it results in a runtime error our telemetry systems should pick it up.
2. Build the CLI from source and run the command. You'll see the full stack trace which you can paste here.

from cli.

Using v3.47.0 I get this new error:

confluent kafka topic <TopicName> --context dev
Error: required flag `--bootstrap` not set

from cli.

Did you mean to type "confluent kafka topic consume"?

from cli.

Also, as of v3.42.0 the --bootstrap flag is no longer required. Please check that you're using an up-to-date version. It sounds you may have multiple versions of the Confluent CLI installed, so make sure that the one you expect appears earlier in your $PATH.
