beaker is failing to run acceptance tests on existing node

[mksha]

Steps to reproduce:

1. Run beaker --hosts hosts.yaml --tests test_spec.rb (using docker provisioner with provision=false)

# hosts.yaml
---
HOSTS:
  ubuntu1804-64-1:
    docker_cmd:
    - "/sbin/init"
    image: ubuntu:18.04
    platform: ubuntu-18.04-amd64
    packaging_platform: ubuntu-18.04-amd64
    docker_image_commands:
    - cp /bin/true /sbin/agetty
    - apt-get install -y net-tools wget locales apt-transport-https iproute2 gnupg
    - locale-gen en_US.UTF-8
    - echo LANG=en_US.UTF-8 > /etc/default/locale
    hypervisor: docker
    roles:
    - agent
CONFIG:
  nfs_server: none
  consoleport: 443
  type: foss
  masterless: true
  log_level: debug
  validate: true
  department: DevOps
  preserve_hosts: always
  provision: false

2. Now try to run the tests against existing node
   beaker --hosts hosts.yaml --tests test_spec.rb

it is happening because container does not have public key, so we can not login to docker container. Also ssh is running on different port but the api is trying to access to 22. Even after changing the port and putting the keys inside the docker container , I am still not able to run the tests using beaker on existing node.

Pls let me know if I am missing anything.

Thanks

I've also seen the same thing with beaker-docker. I always use beaker-vagrant which works quite well for me.

I believe this is an issue just with https://github.com/puppetlabs/beaker-docker. Please file an issue there.
