minikube 1.12.3 fails to interpret memory unit correctly

[rkialashaki]

Steps to reproduce the issue:

1. Mac OSX Catalina 10.15.5
2. Docker Desktop for Mac 2.3.0.4
3. brew install minikube
4. From minikube help:

--memory='': Amount of RAM to allocate to Kubernetes (format: <number>[<unit>], where unit = b, k, m or g).

5. minikube start --cpus 6 --memory 16g

Notice I specify the memory allocation for the minikube container should be 16GB, however, in the output below, you will see minikube creates a docker container of memory 8100MB instead.

Full output of failed command:

😄  minikube v1.12.3 on Darwin 10.15.5
✨  Automatically selected the docker driver. Other choices: hyperkit, virtualbox
👍  Starting control plane node minikube in cluster minikube
🔥  Creating docker container (CPUs=6, Memory=8100MB) ..

Full output of minikube start command used, if not already included:

Optional: Full output of minikube logs command:

I think this is a duplicate of #9017 and already fixed in PR #9033.

So I would assume that we just need to wait until the fix get released in a 1.12.4 bug fix release or wait for 1.13.0

Correct, this will be fixed with our 1.13.0 release which should be out soon. Sorry for the bad experience here. I'll close this as a dupe.
