I've spent 1 hour today debugging why packer does not want to work with
ansible. It turns out `ansible-playbook` command was returning non-zero
exit status because of the file system permission problem.
Output before change:
% packer build rabbitmq.json
amazon-ebs output will be in this color.
1 error(s) occurred:
* exit status 1
Output after change:
amazon-ebs output will be in this color.
1 error(s) occurred:
* Error running "ansible-playbook --version": exit status 1
Add a new option, `use_sftp` to the ansible provisioner. It's default
value is false; ansible provisioner will use SCP by default.
Refactor to consistently set all configure options for ansible
provisioner in the Prepare step.
Remove incorrect information about `ANSIBLE_HOST_KEY_CHECKING=False`
being set when `ansible_env_vars` is not set in the packer template.
Update BATS tests for the ansible provisioner to actually check that the
fetched directory contains the contents expected. This revealed a
problem with the all_options template that required adding a host to the
hosts list in the test playbook.
Ansible may produce very long lines which Scanner can not handle. This
replaces the Scanner with a Reader and uses the ReadString method to
read an arbitrary large line from the ansible-playbook stdout pipe.
Ansible 2.0 deprecated ansible_ssh_user, ansible_ssh_port, ansible_ssh_host
instead use ansible_user, ansible_port, and ansible_host in the
inventory file.
Closes#3275
* Clearly separate host signer and user key generation into separate
functions and data structures.
* Remove inaccurate comment about needing to specify both files if
either one is specified.
* Rename parameters for clarity according to their meaning to the
callee.
* Style the code with gofmt.
