[Grovespaz]

Is this a BUG REPORT or FEATURE REQUEST? (choose one): Bug report

Minikube version (use minikube version): v0.16.0

Environment:

• OS (e.g. from /etc/os-release): Windows 10 version 1607 (build 14393.693)
• VM Driver (e.g. cat ~/.minikube/machines/minikube/config.json | grep DriverName): hyperv
• ISO version (e.g. cat ~/.minikube/machines/minikube/config.json | grep -i ISO or minikube ssh cat /etc/VERSION): minikube-v1.0.6.iso
• Install tools: ?
• Others: kubectl v1.5.3

What happened:
When running minikube start for the first time (minikube start --vm-driver=hyperv to be accurate), the terminal fills up with this message repeated multiple times:

Repeating the command yields the same result.
Running minikube status results in:

E0227 13:52:33.938528   12204 status.go:57] Error getting machine status: Error: Unrecognize output from GetLocalkubeStatus:
E0227 13:52:33.951492   12204 util.go:134] Error formatting error message: Error msg with no stack trace cannot be reported

What you expected to happen:
minikube start not to fail

How to reproduce it (as minimally and precisely as possible):
Run minikube start --vm-driver=hyperv from an elevated command prompt on a Windows 10 machine.

[aaron-prindle]

@Grovespaz Could you try running the command with an elevated Powershell? Trying to isolate if the issue has to do with the shell used.

[Grovespaz]

Running the command in Powershell after removing the VM from HyperV and removing ~/.minikube yields the same result.

Just in case, here's the complete output:

PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> minikube start --vm-driver=hyperv

Can you try running this with libmachine logging enabled --v=7. Also make sure that you are designating a hyperv virtual switch as the driver will select one randomly if you don't --hyperv-virtual-switch=YourVSwitch (right now it might be trying to use DockerNat if you have Docker For Windows installed):
minikube start --vm-driver=hyperv --v=7 --hyperv-virtual-switch=YourVSwitch
Post the output of that.

I apologize for the late reply. Thanks for the guidance! The VM was indeed connected to the DockerNat switch but solving this didn't solve the original error.

After going through the verbose log, I noticed a call to a stray file called ssh.bat helpfully left in my path by the chromium build tools :) After removing this from my path, minikube worked as expected.

Thank you for your time and apologies for the noise.
As a closing thought, I saw that minikube has a built-in go fallback for SSH. What would the downsides be to always using this as to not depend on (possibly faulty) user configuration?

[r2d4]

@Grovespaz we already accepted a PR to only use the native golang ssh method. This will be in the next version of minikube
