[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (JBIDE-25901) MINISHIFT_HOME is not propagated to new detected cdk binary properly

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-25901?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13556140#comment-13556140 ] 

Rob Stryker commented on JBIDE-25901:
-------------------------------------

It seemed extremely common to me that users (or other testers) would complain of their cdk / minishift not functioning properly, and this was caused by an old minishift_home which had data from an old version of cdk. 

This happened so often that it became extremely annoying. Having 3 different versions of CDK all using the same minishift_home, and testing each version, having one version clobber or corrupt the home directory for the other two, etc etc.  

It really seems to me that best practices should indicate that each server has its own minishift_home. I really don't know if what I'm doing is best, but it seems to me it's the cleanest. 

I guess we can ask for an executive opinion here. But I really don't think encouraging everyone to use the same minishift_home is smart.

> Following some of the changes to how cdk and runtime detection works (most notably that path to cdk binary can now be used for searching), I wanted to try and see if $MINISHIFT_HOME is still respected and works properly. And it seems to fail.
> I started devstudio with MINISHIFT_HOME=/Users/rasp/minishift_home, then ran runtime detection against /Users/rasp/tmp where a cdk binary was found. But the newly created adapter had this set up as minishift home: /Users/rasp/tmp/MINISHIFT_HOME
> That seems totally wrong.
