Minikube: Having an issue with minikube start on MacOS

[petebirk]

Trying to setup minikube following steps here: https://backstage.forgerock.com/docs/forgeops/6.5/devops-guide-minikube/#devops-guide-minikube.

The start command fails and I think it's related to the "Unauthorized" you see below. If I do anything with kubectl, it gives me an error "You must be logged in to the server (Unauthorized)". In the minikube logs, there is info about an expired certificate, but not sure what to do about it. . I have uninstalled minikube and kubectl and reinstalled to no avail. Thanks for any assistance on this.

Using the following start command (took about 10 minutes to complete):

Peters-MacBook-Pro:~ peter$ minikube start —memory=8192 --cpus=2 -v=7 --disk-size=40g --vm-driver=virtualbox --bootstrapper kubeadm --kubernetes-version=1.17.4
😄 minikube v1.12.1 on Darwin 10.14.6

😿 minikube is exiting due to an error. If the above message is not useful, open an issue:

I've attached the output of minikube logs.

This can be closed.. I had upgraded from an older version of minikube recently.. The issue documented below fixed the problem. I ran "minikube delete --all --purge" and that fixed it. Thanks!
