[Question] failed to create host: Image windows-default is not supported

[itscaro]

I ran into this error:

failed to create host: Image windows-default is not supported

Pipeline: https://circleci.com/gh/roboll/helmfile/8981

I configure the yaml file as:

  test_windows:
    machine:
      image: windows-default
    working_directory: C:\workspace\helmfile

Cf https://github.com/roboll/helmfile/pull/1754

Could you tell me what do I do wrong here please?

Hi @itscaro, several tips regarding your question:

• We recommend to use our official Windows orbs instead of directly specifying Windows machine images. There is also a real working example.
• If you want to directly specify the image name, please try windows-server-2019-vs2019:stable. That is what our official orb is using in background. You will also need to specify resource_class appropriately (such as windows.medium).

For further questions, please feel free to come to our support desk and ask any questions! We are happy to help you out.
