Installation on Minikube/Cygwin about knix

[iakkus]

That seems to be working in a bare metal build. Does it have something to do with folder permissions in cygwin?

[ruichuan]

yes, I also confirm that this works with ansible.

This is not a bug but a feature request. We have never targeted Cygwin and Minikube for our setup scripts/environment and nor have we tested this configuration either. For our ansible based setup the requirement is a debian based linux setup (either inside a VM or on bare metal). For the helm charts our requirements are a proper k8s cluster (not minikube) with knative running on it.

Interesting issue.
Docker should have set the working directory to /usr/src/frontend but thrift complains about the directory ./src/main/java/ missing. Also, container user should have been set with --user to the same as the user running the build.

@ruichuan, please check the ownership of your clone /home/bose/knix-0.8.1/HttpFrontend/src/main/java and the output of id -u and id -g. The ownership shall match the current user.
If it was a cygwin problem, we might be able to narrow it down. Please run cygwin and try the thrift command with an absolute container path (change Makefile to use -out /usr/src/frontend/src/main/java/ instead of -out ./src/main/java).
Please let us know the output using absolute paths.
