Kaniko requires a non empty secret name to be set

[dgageot]

skaffold 0.7.0

With this configuration:

apiVersion: skaffold/v1alpha2
kind: Config

build:
  artifacts:
  - imageName: gcr.io/dga-demo/hello
  kaniko:
    namespace: default
    gcsBucket: dga-demo
    pullSecret: ~/secrets/kaniko/dga-demo.json

deploy:
  kubectl:
    manifests:
      - k8s/*.yaml

I get this error:

$ skaffold build -p kaniko
Starting build...
FATA[0002] build step: setting up secret: creating secret: Secret "" is invalid: metadata.name: Required value: name or generateName is required: Secret "" is invalid: metadata.name: Required value: name or generateName is required

This issue is still present in the current version (0.23.0). If not using GCS or GCR then the secret isn't needed, but you're still required to have it. We work around it by adding a dummy secret (e.g. value = "test"), but it would be nice to be able to drop it altogether.
