Issue: Running docker-for-mac & kubernetes, command kubectl get pods -namespace=kube-system
does not list expected pods.
Experimenting with kubernetes & docker-for-mac. After following initial setup, I expect the output of the following command to list several pods (such as an etcd pod and a kube-proxy pod, etc)
╰─$ kubectl get pods -namespace=kube-system
No resources found.
I can verify that the actual containers themselves are running with the output of docker container ls
╰─$ docker container ls

The command you're using is incorrect, you should use:
kubectl get pods --namespace=kube-system
or
kubectl get pods -n kube-system
It will show you the pods.
