Description

  1. create a multi-node minikube cluster using minikube start --nodes 2
  2. run skaffold dev

Expected behavior

It should work as expected

Actual behavior

It failed with following message:

invalid skaffold config: getting minikube env: running [/usr/local/bin/minikube docker-env --shell none -p minikube]
 - stdout: "\n\n"
 - stderr: "X Exiting due to ENV_MULTINODE_CONFLICT: The docker-env command is incompatible with multi-node clusters. Use the 'registry' add-on: https://minikube.sigs.k8s.io/docs/handbook/registry/\n"
 - cause: exit status 81

Information

  • Skaffold version: v1.20.0
  • Operating system: CentOS 7

Steps to reproduce the behavior

  1. a clonable repository with the sample skaffold project

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine how skaffold retrieves the minikube environment for multi node clusters and adapt the code to use the registry addon instead of docker env.
