Windows10 F8:gofabric8 Unable to get status exit status 1

Using the latest version of the plugin (3.1.76) I got stuck after the downloads.

Same here too, but on an Ubuntu OS. Tried both ways to install gofabric, via the bash script and as binary distributable. Calling “gofabric8 start” fails with:

using the executable /home/oliver/.fabric8/bin/minikube
Unable to get status exit status 1

Got around it by (supposedly):

• Running: minikube delete
• Deleting “~/.minikube” directory
• Once starting and stopping minikube manually
  • minikube start
  • minikube stop

gofabric8 is deprecated now, so closing this issue
