skaffold dev fails to push image to minikube with non-default profile

[gintautassulskus]

Expected behavior

skaffold dev fails to deploy docker artifacts to minikube with a non-default profile.
skaffold deploy seems to be working as expected.

Information

• Skaffold version: v0.16.0
• Operating system: macOS 10.14
• Contents of skaffold.yaml: getting-started example

Steps to reproduce the behavior

eval $(minikube docker-env --profile custom) did not help.

Hi @gintautassulskus Is this something you still experience with Skaffold v0.20.0?

[gintautassulskus]

Hi @dgageot, the issue persists with Skaffold v0.20.0. As a matter of fact, skaffold deploy no longer works producing the same error as skaffold dev.

[corneliusweig]

Hi @gintautassulskus , with the current master you can configure skaffold config set --global local-cluster true, so that image pushing will always be skipped. Does that solve your problem?

See #1355

[gintautassulskus]

Hi @corneliusweig, at the moment I am unable to test the use case as we are reworking our deployment system.
As long as one can deploy a demo app to the minikube with a custom profile this issue can be resolved.

[corneliusweig]

@gintautassulskus can you give this another try? If the issue is solved, you could close this.

[gintautassulskus]

@corneliusweig, the issue persists.

It seems that skaffold dev deploys only to default minikube profile. Even if I change the minikube profile via kubectl to another one, e.g. custom, skaffold still uses minukube.
I am not aware of any skaffold parameter to set target minikube profile.

[corneliusweig]

@gintautassulskus Have you made sure, that you are using the docker daemon from minikube and set the context as local? Iow

source <(minikube docker-env)
skaffold config set --global local-cluster true

If this is still not working, can you please provide further information from the following commands:

skaffold version
env | grep -i docker
kubectl config current-context
cat ~/.skaffold/config

[gintautassulskus]

The following sequence of commands:

minikube start --profile custom
source <(minikube docker-env --profile custom)
skaffold config set --global local-cluster true
cd skaffold/examples/getting-started
skaffold dev

Yields the following infinitely repeating pair of messages

rpc error: code = Unknown desc = Error response from daemon: manifest for gcr.io/k8s-skaffold/skaffold-example:7828be0b28ac8578e3e0cc99fcfc4196739d470794ecd5c90f31fb91a3bdf358 not found

Does it work on your machine when you execute the given set of commands, @corneliusweig?

[corneliusweig]

@gintautassulskus I can't reproduce your error. The steps I took:

1. Start minikube with minikube start -p custom
2. Set up docker on host with source <(minikube docker-env -p custom --shell zsh)
3. cd skaffold/examples/getting-started
4. skaffold dev

More information:

• skaffold version -> v0.25.0
• env | grep docker -i
DOCKER_TLS_VERIFY=1 DOCKER_HOST=tcp://192.168.99.102:2376 DOCKER_CERT_PATH=~/.minikube/certs DOCKER_API_VERSION=1.35
• kubectl config current-context -> custom
• minikube version -> 1.0.0
• cat ~/.skaffold/config
global: local-cluster: true kubeContexts: []

Be sure to run all these setup commands in the same shell. If this does not work for you, please provide similar information about your environment as above.

[gintautassulskus]

@corneliusweig, finally, it worked. I had to use eval $(minikube docker-env -p custom) instead of source <(minikube docker-env -p custom --shell zsh), otherwise env | grep docker -i returned nothing.

The only diff from yours:

skaffold version
v0.26.0

@gintautassulskus Maybe you want to chime in on #1957
