Because Packer has already verified that we are running with at least Hyper-V administrator rights this should
be safe. Having the requirement for administrator rights in the script means that you still need to be an
administrator if you want to use packer to build Hyper-V images with a configuration that requires you to
send keystrokes to the MV, say when building a Linux box.
If using a builder that has an http server set up for file transfer,
expose the connection info to the shell provisioner through the environment
variable PACKER_HTTP_ADDR.
Closes#2869
- Can now tune delay using PACKER_KEY_INTERVAL
- Added implementation to all of VMware and QEMU
- Removed double delay for QEMU
- Default key delay of 100ms (as before)
- Added docs to QEMU and VMware pages
This option allows to set the extension of the ISO file after download.
Defaults to "iso". It makes sense for building Mac OS X guests, where the
bootable image is actually a DMG, not an ISO.
In particular, it is important for "parallels-iso" builder to set the right extension.
When dealing with windows the file url format is file:///c:/
On windows a lot of git clients will convert LF to CRLF. This would be a problem where file contents are compared exactly
If backslashes were in a filename (such as when running from Windows),
this would cause the backslashes to be included in the filenames in the
created floppy disk which caused havoc when Windows tried to parse it.
Fixed a bug in fsDirectoryCache when using path.Clean() to normalize the
input directory properly. This would cause an error where a new directory
"." would be created instead of it correctly returning the root directory.
Fixes issue #3977.
Ensure that all builders include FloppyDirectories in the StepCreateFloppy options.
Changed the way the unit-tests in common/step_create_floppy_test work to use the static test-fixtures directory instead of creating the paths dynamically.
Removed a duplicate line of documentation from parallels-pvm.html.md that occurred during rebasing.
Moved the support for recursive paths from the floppy_files keyword to the new floppy_contents keyword.
Shifted some of the code around to add better logging of what's actually being copied.
Added a couple of unit-tests for the new floppy_contents implementation.
Ensured that all files that were being added were also being included in state.FilesAdded so that the older unit-tests will work.
Prevalidates hardware resources on Linux platforms for Virtualbox and
VMware builders. This is currently only available on Linux, as enabling
for both Darwin and Windows platforms, relies on cgo bindings that would
prevent effective cross-compilation.
Packer will now fail to build and validate templates if the template is
requesting that the VM to be created would allocate more system
resources than the host system has available.
This _however_ doesn't catch parallel builds that overflow the hosts
resources, will probably still need a better error message for VM's
failing to boot in that case.
