skaffold not building image with useDockerCLI true

[edh]

Hello.

I am currently triying to build (skaffold build) using the docker cli instead of the docker API, this is my skaffold.yaml manifest:

apiVersion: skaffold/v2beta4

kind: Config

metadata:

  name: test-api

build:

  tagPolicy:

    dateTime:

      format: 20060102t150405

      timezone: "America/Mexico_City"  

  artifacts:

  - image: gcr.io/test-project/test-api

  local:

    useDockerCLI: true

deploy:

  kubectl:

    manifests:

    - k8s/test-api.yaml

However when I run skaffold build I get the following error:

skaffold build

Generating tags...

 - gcr.io/test-project/test-api -> gcr.io/test-project/test-api:20200520t160201

couldn't build "gcr.io/test-project/test-api": running build: exit status 1

I have the 1.10.0 version of skaffold

Is there anything I am going wrong?

Thank you

Hey,

it looks like Docker daemon is not running on the host machine. Can you verify if you are able to run docker commands on the host machine? Also check the user which running docker command is added to docker group to avoid using sudo. 

Thanks

Hello.

This one is on me, rookie mistake. I tought that by using useDockerCLI the docker daemon would not be necessary. 

Thank you
