rdctl shutdown logs a warning about Non-strict YAML

[Zerpet]

Hello!

I'm using Rancher Desktop 1.20.0 in MacOS M1. I usually run rdctl shutdown before logging off my laptop. Every time I run rdctl shutdown it logs some warnings about non-strict YAML deprecation. The command completes successfully, but I'm wondering if there's anything I can do to remove the warnings, so that it doesn't break in the future 🙂

rdctl output

Shutting down.

Thank you for all the great work that goes into Rancher Desktop!

Every time I run rdctl shutdown it logs some warnings about non-strict YAML deprecation.

Can you show the exact error? Are you using a defaults.yaml or override.yaml file to change the Lima config?

The warning message is:

Not to my knowledge. I haven't created any of those files.

I navigated to ~/Library/Application Support/rancher-desktop and run tree. The output is quite large, so I'm attaching the output in a file: tree.txt

I see, the issue is with ~/Library/Application\ Support/rancher-desktop/lima/_config/networks.yaml. You can probably just delete it (or move it somewhere else), and it should get recreated on the next start.

If you have actually customized the network settings, then you could also edit the file and remove the old vdeSwitch field.

The default content of the file should be:

❯ cat ~/Library/Application\ Support/rancher-desktop/lima/_config/networks.yaml
