ArgoCD v2.4.0 - Unable to run CLI commands on Windows due to "config file has incorrect permission flags" error

Checklist:

• I've searched in the docs and FAQ for my answer: https://bit.ly/argocd-faq.
• I've included steps to reproduce the bug.
• I've pasted the output of argocd version.

Describe the bug

The CLI is returning the error "config file has incorrect permission flags:-rw-rw-rw-.change the file permission either to 0400 or 0600." when running commands on Windows.

I have tried changing the permissions on my config file so that only my user (the owner of the file) has access to it however it still produces the same error. I have also tried deleting the config file and generating a new file via argocd login but it didn't help.

I do not get the error on v2.3.4.

To Reproduce

1. Run argocd app list

This also occurs when running other commands such as argocd cluster list and argocd proj list.

Expected behavior

The command runs without any errors and returns the list of applicatons.

@ABRIO-PR the problem in Windows was that 0400/0600 was not possible. Are you able to chmod the config file on Ubuntu?

Okay, thanks, it works )

This might only be useful to me, in the future, hitting this issue again and not remembering where the argocd config file is. After finding it for the nth time and fixing the issue, the argocd config file lives here: ~/.config/argocd/config.

Obviously, this is for a linux installation.
