##[error]Unhandled: Input required: kubernetesServiceConnection

Provided the input kubernetesServiceConnection and runs successfully.

If you are not using the task in a deployment job with environment context, then you are expected to pass kubernetesServiceConnection parameter.

@bansalaseem , I was running the task in a deployment with environment context. Here's my yaml -

jobs:
  - deployment: Deploy
    displayName: Deploy job
    pool:
      vmImage: $(vmImage)
    environment: $(DeployEnvironment)
    strategy:
      runOnce:
        deploy:
          steps:
          - task: DownloadPipelineArtifact@1
            inputs:
              artifactName: 'charts'
              downloadPath: '$(System.ArtifactsDirectory)/charts'

          - task: KubernetesManifest@0
            displayName: bake
            name: bake
            inputs:
              action: bake
              helmChart: '$(System.ArtifactsDirectory)/charts'
              releaseName: $(Release_Name)
              overrideFiles: |
                $(System.ArtifactsDirectory)/charts/values.$(DeployEnvironmentIdentifier).yaml
              overrides: |
                image.tag:$(Build.BuildId)
                buildID:"1"
               
          - task: KubernetesManifest@0
            displayName: deploy
            name: deploy
            inputs:
              kubernetesServiceConnection: $(AKS_Namespace_SC)
              action: deploy
              namespace: $(k8sNamespace)
              manifests: $(bake.manifestsBundle)
              containers: |
                $(containerRegistry)/$(ServiceNameOnContainer):$(Build.BuildId)

Here's the reference pipeline that I was following -

If you are not using the task in a deployment job with environment context, then you are expected to pass kubernetesServiceConnection parameter.

Why? This isn't described in the documentation and isn't actually used by the code. Furthermore, it breaks existing pipelines. Is this a 'feature not a bug' situation ? :)
