Hi,

New to skaffold so I'm sure I'm just doing something wrong here. I thought based on reading the documentation (specifically https://skaffold.dev/docs/pipeline-stages/init/) that all I needed is a Dockerfile to get started.

I have a simple go application with a single Dockerfile (named Dockerfile) in the root.

Here is the problem

> skaffold init

one or more valid Kubernetes manifests are required to run skaffold

> skaffold init --analyze=true

{"dockerfiles":["Dockerfile"]}

> skaffold init -v Debug

INFO[0000] Skaffold &{Version:v1.22.0 ConfigVersion:skaffold/v2beta14 GitVersion: GitCommit:4e67ac7be12926c9714c48b4bd2b3562c6e1511b BuildDate:2021-04-15T09:28:36Z GoVersion:go1.16.3 Compiler:gc Platform:darwin/amd64}

DEBU[0000] Disable housekeeping messages for command explicitly

DEBU[0000] apiVersion not present in yaml, continuing

one or more valid Kubernetes manifests are required to run skaffold

So it seems to be detecting the Dockerfile, but then seems to want k8s manifest files on top of that.

I'm confused.

Hi Steve.

Try `skaffold init --generate-manifests`. Let us know how it works out.

Brian.
