I am trying to generate skaffold config for docker-compose.yml file using the following command,

skaffold init --compose-file docker-compose.yml --verbosity='info'

This fails with "Invalid k8s yaml" error. Please find below the error log.

I guess that skaffold is not able to support helm config files and interpret them as normal kubernetes config files.

Is there any option to mention the deploy type (like helm) in the skaffold init command?

I came across the similar issue which has been already resolved. https://github.com/GoogleContainerTools/skaffold/issues/1726

Please help me to resolve this issue and let me know if I am doing anything wrong.
