minishift start --vm-driver xhyve

Question

I'm on a macos box, trying to get openshift to start.

minishift v1.3.1+a2d3799
CDK v3.1.0-1

minishift start --vm-driver xhyve

or

minishift start --vm-driver virtualbox

always results in this error:

Starting local OpenShift cluster using 'xhyve' hypervisor... E0831 12:08:02.405025 25814 start.go:282] Error starting the VM: Error attempting to get plugin server address for RPC: Failed to dial the plugin server in 10s. Retrying.

Both virtualbox and xhyve are installed.

Answer 1

Upgrading minishift to release 1.5 fixed the issue.
