# Attempt to create the Zarf package
zarf package create . --confirm --set version=latest --architecture=amd64 --zarf-cache test-zarf-cache
# Running this will fix it
mkdir -p test-zarf-cache/images
# Rerun the zarf package create
zarf package create . --confirm --set version=latest --architecture=amd64 --zarf-cache test-zarf-cacheExpected result
If the --zarf-cache directory does not include an images subdirectory and needs it, it will automatically be created by zarf
