minikube status exits with 0 when there is no minikube container #22466
Description
What Happened?
Running minikube status on a system without a minikube container we get the following error:
$ minikube status
E0116 14:50:53.995077 3483121 status.go:179] status error: host: state: unknown state "minikube": docker container inspect minikube --format={{.State.Status}}: exit status 1
stdout:
stderr:
Error response from daemon: No such container: minikube
E0116 14:50:53.995092 3483121 status.go:126] status error: host: state: unknown state "minikube": docker container inspect minikube --format={{.State.Status}}: exit status 1
stdout:
stderr:
Error response from daemon: No such container: minikub
... and what's really bad is that this exits with 0 (success). This used to work find with earlier versions of minikube.
The impact of this is that it causes major issues in my pipelines as I use if minikube status &>/dev/null; then ... fi; to detect if the user already has a minikube cluster running.
