Terraform version, Kubernetes provider version and Kubernetes version

Terraform version: 1.6.1 on linux_amd64
Helm Provider version: ~> 2.10
Kubernetes version: ~> 2.21

Terraform configuration

terraform {
  required_providers {
    kubernetes = {
      source  = "hashicorp/kubernetes"
      version = "~> 2.21"      
    }
    tls = {
      source  = "hashicorp/tls"
      version = "~> 4.0"
    }
    helm = {
      source  = "hashicorp/helm"
      version = "~> 2.10"  
    }
  }
 }

provider "helm" {  
 kubernetes {
   host     = "https://api.crc.testing:6443"
   username = "my_user"
   password = "my_password"   
   insecure = true
 }
}

resource "helm_release" "gitops" {
  name        = "gitops"
  chart       = "gitops"
  repository  = "."
  namespace   = "helm-gitops"
  max_history = 3
  create_namespace = true
  wait             = true
  reset_values     = true
}

Question

When running terraform apply using the username / password option, the following error is returned:

Error: could not get apiVersions from Kubernetes: could not get apiVersions from Kubernetes: unknown
│
│ with helm_release.gitops,
│ on main.tf line 43, in resource "helm_release" "gitops":
│ 43: resource "helm_release" "gitops" {

Is this the proper syntax?

Thanks in advance
