Kitchen converge Windows 2012r2

I am following the tutorial on learn.chef.io https://learn.chef.io/manage-a-web-app/windows/create-the-cookbook/ and first windows-2012r2 for the platform could not be found but got around that with kensykora/windows_2012_r2_standard. When I run kitchen converge it downloads the box and creates it but when it starts the converge part installing chef client and cookbooks I get this error.

Please see .kitchen/logs/kitchen.log for more details
Also try running kitchen diagnose --all for configuration

Any ideas on how to resolve this issue?

Can you share your kitchen.yml? I am wondering if your platform does not start with “win” and it is treating your box as a Linux machine.

Here is my .kitchen.yml file.

driver:
name: vagrant
network:
- [“private_network”, {ip: “192.168.35.35”}]

provisioner:
name: chef_zero

You may wish to disable always updating cookbooks in CI or other testing environments.

For example:

always_update_cookbooks: <%= !ENV[‘CI’] %>

always_update_cookbooks: true

transport:
name: winrm
elevated: true

platforms:

  • name: kensykora/windows_2012_r2_standard
    driver:
    customize:
    memory: 2048

suites:

  • name: default
    run_list:
    • recipe[awesome_customers_windows::default]
      attributes:
4

Change

platforms:
- name: kensykora/windows_2012_r2_standard
driver:
customize:
memory: 2048

to

platforms:
- name: windows_2012_r2_standard
  driver:
    box: kensykora/windows_2012_r2_standard
    customize:
    memory: 2048

You want your platform name to start with “win” otherwise your box is treated as a linux box.
