k8sAutoscale cannot get client

[paulinalei]

I can't seem to get the k8sAutoscale node to work.

I keep getting the error

cannot use the k8sAutoscale node, could not create kubernetes client: unknown kubernetes cluster "", cannot get client

I was trying to run the example from: https://github.com/influxdata/k8s-kapacitor-autoscale

However, this example seems outdated. It asked me for .cluster() property method. I tried adding in 'minikube' but it doesn't seem to be working. Is it possible for someone to update this example or give me some direction into how to solve this issue?

I also noticed from a previous issue #1608 that someone also had this issue and was wondering if it had been solved.

Background information:

I am running Kapacitor v1.5 locally on my machine, running Kubernetes on Windows Server 2016, using Hyper-V and an Internal Switch to run minikube.

My kapacitor.conf file is one generated by running the command kapacitor > kapacitor.conf as the Windows download from InfluxData had a configuration file for Linux directories.

To anyone else having this issue:

When I started using Linux containers instead of Windows containers, I no longer had this problem.

You do not need to specify any string for the .cluster() method.
