SOLO-2028

InitFailedSoloError

Description

Thrown when solo init cannot complete the one-time setup it performs before other commands can run; when a cause is available its message is appended. solo init prepares the local environment — creating the ~/.solo working directory and verifying or installing the required external tools (kubectl, helm, kind, docker). This error means one of those steps failed, most often because a prerequisite is missing or could not be installed, or the working directory could not be created.

Troubleshooting Steps

1. Check solo logs: tail -n 100 ~/.solo/logs/solo.log
2. Verify all prerequisites are installed (kubectl, helm, kind, docker)
3. Re-run initialization: solo init
