I'm on a macos box, trying to get openshift to start.

minishift v1.3.1+a2d3799
CDK v3.1.0-1

minishift start --vm-driver xhyve

or

minishift start --vm-driver virtualbox

always results in this error:

Starting local OpenShift cluster using 'xhyve' hypervisor... E0831 12:08:02.405025 25814 start.go:282] Error starting the VM: Error attempting to get plugin server address for RPC: Failed to dial the plugin server in 10s. Retrying.

Both virtualbox and xhyve are installed.

I'd say don't bother trying to debug/fix this, but rather upgrade to the newest version (yeah, sorry): github.com/minishift/minishift/releases - Michael Hausenblas
You are right, updating the release 1.5 fixes the issue. - Paolo Ciarrocchi
