invalid skaffold config: proxy: unknown scheme: http : VSCode Cloud Code

Question

I tried to follow the instructions on Youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EtMIEtLQNa0 to run a Cloud Run service locally. I created a sample Python hello-world application. When I choose the option "Run On Cloud Run Emulator", it gives me an error saying "invalid skaffold config: proxy: unknown scheme: http".

Any pointers on how this can be solved? I'm using an Intel Mac, on a corporate VPN.

I had the same issue.

I followed the getting started guide (using skaffold v2.10.0), i.e.:

git clone https://github.com/GoogleContainerTools/skaffold
cd skaffold/examples/buildpacks-node-tutorial
skaffold init
minikube start --profile custom
skaffold config set --global local-cluster true
eval $(minikube -p custom docker-env)

Once I call skaffold dev I get:

invalid skaffold config: proxy: unknown scheme: http

I am behind a corporate proxy.

If I do

unset ALL_PROXY
unset all_proxy

before the skaffold command the issue is gone.

Would be nice if skaffold (or its transitive dependencies) would be less pedantic here.
