This adds the new `required_plugins` block to be nested under the packer block.
Example:
```hcl
packer {
required_plugins {
aws = {
version = ">= 2.7.0"
source = "azr/aws"
}
azure = ">= 2.7.0"
}
}
```
For example on darwin_amd64 Packer will install those under :
* "${PACKER_HOME_DIR}/plugin/github.com/azr/amazon/packer-plugin-amazon_2.7.0_x5.0_darwin_amd64"
* "${PACKER_HOME_DIR}/plugin/github.com/hashicorp/azure/packer-plugin-azure_2.7.0_x5.0_darwin_amd64_x5"
+ docs
+ tests
* move maps of plugins back in core
* go mod vendor
* more fixes
* fix imports
* Update core_test.go
* fix build
* more fixes
* more fixes
* up vendors after fixing sdk
* Update post_processor_mock.hcl2spec.go
* Leave implementatino of MapOf in the sdk for plugi tests
Other wise use the interface
* go mod tidy
* add MapOfDatasource type too
This add :
* discovery of `packer-plugin-*` binaries from the known folders and ask them to describe themselves
* tests
For testing: in go we create a bash script that in turn calls back to Go. I could not make the tests to work on windows and then would like to postpone testing this for when we know more about the finite layout of this feature. That is mainly: how things are going to work with init, versioning and such.
Sometimes, the artifact returned by PostProcess is the artifact from client.Artifact() and in that case we don't want to close client; otherwise the outcome is sort of undetermined. See #9995 for a good test file.
fix#9995
The initialization of packer core in JSON also validates that `null` variables were set, except in the case of `packer validate --syntax-only` , but after the refactor to allow to have all commands work with HCL2 and JSON this subtlety was lost.
This refactors the initialisation of the core in order to allow to have `packer validate --syntax-only` not error in case a variable is not set. Since these calls are refactored this works for HCL2 too.
