status on git bash: Error getting host status: state: Failed to find the VM status

[zaidqureshi2]

I installed minikube on my windows machine enabled with Hyper V. I already have docker installed on my computer.

I started the minikube with the following command in PowerShell: minikube start --vm-driver=hyperv --hyperv-virtual-switch "Default Switch" --memory=4096

Please note I used the Default Switch instead of creating a new switch.

After the installation, in powershell:

PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> minikube status host: Running kubelet: Running apiserver: Running kubectl: Correctly Configured: pointing to minikube-vm at 172xxxxxxx

PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> minikube version
minikube version: v1.3.1
commit: ca60a42

The issue I am having is when I run commands like minikube status or minikube docker-env or minikube dashboard they fail from Gitbash:

$ minikube status * X Error getting host status: state: Failed to find the VM status * * Sorry that minikube crashed. If this was unexpected, we would love to hear fro m you: - https://github.com/kubernetes/minikube/issues/new/choose

$ minikube docker-env * X Error getting host status: state: Failed to find the VM status * * Sorry that minikube crashed. If this was unexpected, we would love to hear fro m you: - https://github.com/kubernetes/minikube/issues/new/choose

But when I run those commands through powershell, they are successful.

PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> minikube docker-env $Env:DOCKER_TLS_VERIFY = "1" $Env:DOCKER_HOST = "tcp://172.17.205.130:2376" $Env:DOCKER_CERT_PATH = "C:\Users\zqureshi\.minikube\certs" # Run this command to configure your shell: # & minikube docker-env | Invoke-Expression

Is this because I did the initialization through Powershell instead of Gitbash?

I wonder if your Git Bash process doesn't have high enough privileges to talk to Hyper-V?

Do you mind sharing this output?

minikube docker-env --alsologtostderr -v=8

@zaidqureshi2 do you still have this issue ? if yes, do you mind please sharing the info tstromberg asked ?

Hopefully it's OK if I close this - there wasn't enough information to make it actionable, and some time has already passed. If you are able to provide additional details, you may reopen it at any point by adding /reopen to your comment.
