Hello,
I have this sample code:
```
kind: pipeline
name: linux64
steps:
- name: Echo
image: fedora:30
commands:
- echo $DRONE_MACHINE
---
kind: exec
name: windows64
platform:
os: windows
arch: amd64
steps:
- name: Echo
commands:
- echo %DRONE_MACHINE%
```
Jobs is running well on linux target but on windows, jobs is stuck to “Pending”.
Configuration on Windows runner is:
```
DRONE_RPC_PROTO=http
DRONE_RPC_HOST=drone.home.lan
DRONE_RPC_SECRET=
DRONE_RUNNER_NAME=windows64
DRONE_RUNNER_CAPACITY=2
```
What did I miss ?
Drone: docker drone/drone:latest
drone-runner-exec: 1.0.0-beta3

The first thing that jumps out is the yaml parameters are incorrect. As a result the pipeline will sit in the queue in a pending state waiting for a runner with a matching kind and type to accept the job (which in this case will never happen)
```diff
-kind: exec
+kind: pipeline
+type: exec
```
See [https://docs.drone.io/pipeline/exec/overview/](https://docs.drone.io/pipeline/exec/overview/)
