user-namespace: profile-name replacement

[Doel10]

I'm trying to deploy the entire kubeflow platform using the README "Install with a single command":

while ! kustomize build example | kubectl apply --server-side --force-conflicts -f -; do echo "Retrying to apply resources"; sleep 20; done

but I get the following error:

Error from server (Invalid): Profile.kubeflow.org "$(profile-name)" is invalid: metadata.name: Invalid value: "$(profile-name)": a lowercase RFC 1123 subdomain must consist of lower case alphanumeric characters, '-' or '.', and must start and end with an alphanumeric character (e.g. 'example.com', regex used for validation is 'a-z0-9?(.a-z0-9?)*')

It seems kustomize is not properly replacing $(profile-name) with the value specified in manifests/common/user-namespace/base/params.env:

user=user@example.com
profile-name=kubeflow-user-example-com

Am I missing something or is it a little bug?

I think the issue is that you're using a Kustomize version that is too new, see also #3315 (comment) for a reference to an issue where I made the same mistake 😄
