The `file` Packer builder is not really a builder, it just creates an
|
||||||
|
artifact from a file. It can be used to debug post-processors without
|
||||||
|
incurring high wait times. It does not run any provisioners.

# File Builder
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Type: `file`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The `file` Packer builder is not really a builder, it just creates an artifact
|
||||||
|
from a file. It can be used to debug post-processors without incurring high
|
||||||
|
wait times. It does not run any provisioners.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Basic Example
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Below is a fully functioning example. It doesn't do anything useful, since no
|
||||||
|
provisioners are defined, but it will connect to the specified host via ssh.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
``` {.javascript}
|
||||||
|
{
|
||||||
|
"type": "file",
|
||||||
|
"content": "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet",
|
||||||
|
"target": "dummy_artifact"
|
||||||
|
}
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Configuration Reference
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Configuration options are organized below into two categories: required and
|
||||||
|
optional. Within each category, the available options are alphabetized and
|
||||||
|
described.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Any [communicator](/docs/templates/communicator.html) defined is ignored.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Required:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- `target` (string) - The path for a file which will be copied as the
|
||||||
|
artifact.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Optional:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
You can only define one of `source` or `content`. If none of them is
|
||||||
|
defined the artifact will be empty.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- `source` (string) - The path for a file which will be copied as the
|
||||||
|
artifact.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- `content` (string) - The content that will be put into the artifact.
