BUG REPORT

Please provide the following details:

Environment:

Minikube version (use minikube version):minikube version: v0.28.1

• OS (e.g. from /etc/os-release): MacOS 10.13.4 (High Sierra)
• VM Driver (e.g. cat ~/.minikube/machines/minikube/config.json | grep DriverName): vmwarefusion
• ISO version (e.g. cat ~/.minikube/machines/minikube/config.json | grep -i ISO or minikube ssh cat /etc/VERSION):
  v0.28.1
• Install tools:
• Others:

What happened:
"minikube start --vm-driver=vmwarefusion" always fails.

What you expected to happen:
minikube successfully gets started

How to reproduce it (as minimally and precisely as possible):
"minikube start --vm-driver=vmwarefusion" always reproduces the issue.

Anything else do we need to know:

This problem is caused by a bug in fusion VM driver imported from docker/machine. The fix has already been up-streamed (by me) and merged (PR: docker-archive-public/docker.machine#4491). Please import the latest driver code from docker/machine, which would solve this problem in minikube, too.

I have same issue, for me it's not clear what command (step) is failing from the log.

It appears this has been fixed upstream: docker-archive-public/docker.machine@e515a4b
