What happened:
Created a manual secrets file and while trying to create this error is thrown
$ kubectl create -f ./file.yaml

error: error validating "./file.yaml": error validating data: unknown object type schema.GroupVersionKind{Group:"", Version:"v1", Kind:"Secret"}; if you choose to ignore these errors, turn validation off with --validate=false

Retried with the the secrets file in the documentation just to confirm it was not a syntax mistake but same outcome.

kubectl create -f redis.yaml

Also happens with the rest of the service files other than secrets

What you expected to happen:
the expectation was a confirmation that the secret "file" created

or

service "redis" created
replicationcontroller "redis" created

How to reproduce it (as minimally and precisely as possible):
$ kubectl create -f ./file.yaml

Anything else we need to know:

if i turn the validation off everything seems to be fine with the flag validate=false

@iamcaleberic Could you tell me more about the Kubernetes environment that you're using? is it a minikube server? There is a known limitation against minikube servers kubernetes/minikube#1996 (cf 1.8 release note too)

Let me know if that's NOT what it is.

Thank you,

@mbohlool can you follow up on this

cc @k8s-mirror-api-machinery-bugs

[mbohlool]

@pwittrock Sure. I will wait for @apelisse question to be answered. Most probably this is minikube but will look further if it is not.

[iamcaleberic]

@apelisse yes I am running a minikube server...
The version output is minikube version: v0.22.2

[apelisse]

I'm so glad to hear that! :-)

I'm closing this issue, let's follow up on kubernetes/minikube#1996

Thank you
