Hi @marufmax, while this error should not occur, the problem is you're not passing your profile.

You should be running minikube addons enable dashboard -p test-profile

But we shouldn't be outputting that error when trying to enable an addon on a non-existing cluster, we should output:

🤷  Profile "minikube" not found. Run "minikube profile list" to view all profiles.
👉  To start a cluster, run: "minikube start"
