I have been trying to get one of my containers running locally with minikube [I am still quite new to all of this FYI]. Prior to building the container I have been running eval $(minikube docker-env) and I can see the 'new' container listed when I run docker images.

Here is my docker file for reference:

# start with python base
FROM python:3.6.4

# whom to come after if things break
LABEL maintainer="my_email_address"

# add tests to container
ADD . /app

ENV APP_PATH=/app

# set working directory
WORKDIR $APP_PATH

# install requirements for tests
RUN pip3 install --no-cache-dir -r requirements.txt

# clear all cached files
RUN find . | grep -E "(__pycache__|\.pyc|\.pyo$)" | xargs rm -rf

# set env variables
ENV TEST $TEST \
USERNAME $USERNAME \
PASSWORD $PASSWORD \
USERNAME2 $USERNAME2 \
PASSWORD2 $PASSWORD2 \
AUTH_TOKEN_1 $AUTH_TOKEN_1 \
AUTH_TOKEN_2 $AUTH_TOKEN_2

# type of command
CMD pytest $TEST

# clean up
RUN rm -rf /tmp/* && rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*

I then created this yml file for minikube, and at the end include a docker run command to pass in some env variables the container is expecting.

build.yml

apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
  name: api-test-pod-k
spec:
 containers:
 - name: api-test-container-k
   image: api-test-container-k
   imagePullPolicy: IfNotPresent
   command: ["docker run -e USER=root -e USERNAME='email@address.com' -e PASSWORD='xxxx' -e USERNAME2='email2@address.com' -e PASSWORD2='xxxx' -e AUTH_TOKEN_1='XXXXXX' -e AUTH_TOKEN_2='XXXXXX' -e TEST='test_* -m smoke' api-test-container-k"]

When I attempt to deploy the pod it end up in the status of

kubectl get pods
NAME                           READY     STATUS              RESTARTS   AGE
api-test-pod-k                 0/1       RunContainerError   0          14s

and the logs show the following:

kubectl logs -f api-test-pod-k
container_linux.go:265: starting container process caused "exec: \"docker run -e USER=root -e USERNAME='email@address.com' -e PASSWORD='xxxx' -e USERNAME2='email2@address.com' -e PASSWORD2='xxxx' -e AUTH_TOKEN_1='XXXXXX' -e AUTH_TOKEN_2='XXXXXX' -e TEST='test_* -m smoke' api-test-container-k\": executable file not found in $PATH"

What has me confused is that I can run this docker command locally without minikube in the mix there are no issues. Why would minikube / K8 treat this differently?

I know this is a lot of info. Thank you very much for your time.
