Scenario

I'm new to the chef/test kitchen/vagrant tools. I'm trying to setup an development environment for building Chef recipes and cookbooks.

Steps to Reproduce

I'm hoping the contents of the .kitchen.yml and vagrantfile will provide enough information.

Expected Result

No errors

Actual Result

Lots of errors that I don't know how to resolve. default-windows-2016.log kitchen.log

I'm still having this issue. Can someone assist?

@bp-rocket since we don't include the vagrant-winrm plugin in Chef Workstation, I wonder if the one you have installed locally is conflicting with the built-in behaviors of Vagrant for WinRM. Could you try uninstalling that plugin via vagrant plugin uninstall vagrant-winrm and let us know here if that resolves the issue or changes any behavior?
