trigger kind '${trigger.kind}' not supported yet

Error message

trigger kind '${trigger.kind}' not supported yet

What it means

createWorkspaceTriggerDisabled validates a trigger coming from a project/template install against the TRIGGER_KINDS registry before creating it. If the trigger's kind is not a known WorkspaceTriggerKind, this error is thrown. It protects the installer from attempting to create trigger kinds the current build does not support.

Solutions

1. Check the kind in the error message against TRIGGER_KINDS keys and fix the project/template definition.
2. Upgrade Windmill so both sides support the trigger kind.
3. Skip or warn on unsupported triggers during install instead of failing the whole project.
4. If the kind was renamed, update the template to the new kind name.

Example fix

// before
const def = TRIGGER_KINDS[trigger.kind as WorkspaceTriggerKind]
if (!def) throw new Error(`trigger kind '${trigger.kind}' not supported yet`)
// after
const def = TRIGGER_KINDS[trigger.kind as WorkspaceTriggerKind]
if (!def) {
  console.warn(`trigger kind '${trigger.kind}' not supported yet; skipping during install`)
  return null
}

function isSupportedWorkspaceTriggerKind(kind: string): kind is WorkspaceTriggerKind {
  return kind in TRIGGER_KINDS
}
// before install:
const supported = triggers.filter((t) => isSupportedWorkspaceTriggerKind(t.kind))

function isWorkspaceTriggerKind(k: string): k is WorkspaceTriggerKind {
  return k in TRIGGER_KINDS
}

try {
  await createWorkspaceTriggerDisabled(trigger, { hasEeLicense })
} catch (e) {
  if (String(e).includes('not supported yet')) {
    warnings.push(`Skipped ${trigger.kind}: unsupported in this version`)
    return null
  }
  throw e
}

When it happens

Trigger: installProject calls createWorkspaceTriggerDisabled with a trigger whose `kind` string is not a key of TRIGGER_KINDS — new kinds from a newer export, typos in a project template, or renamed kinds.

Common situations: Importing a project authored on a newer Windmill version; hand-edited project/template YAML with an invalid kind; frontend/backend version skew where one side knows a kind the other does not.
