* 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
tooling. Tested on OSX, `Windows, and Linux. Documented command line dependencies.
Added acceptance tests (behind testacc flag, since there are dependencies).
This option is only implemented for the vmware and hyperv iso builders. It will be
implemented for others in later PRs in order to make review easier.
hcl2_upgrade transforms a JSON build-file in a HCL2 build-file.
This starts a validated Packer core and from that core we generate an HCL 'block' per plugin/configuration. So for a builder, a provisioner, a post-processor or a variable. The contents of each block is just transformed as is and basically all fields are HCL2-ified.
A generated field can be valid in JSON but invalid on HCL2; for example JSON templating (in mapstructure) allows to set arrays of strings - like `x = ["a", "b"]` - with single strings - like `x="a"` -, HCL does not allow this.
Since JSON does not make the distinction between variables and locals, everything will be a variable. So variables that use other variables will not work.
hcl2_upgrade tries to transform go templating interpolation calls to HCL2 calls when possible, leaving the go templating calls like they are in case it cannot.
Work:
* transpiler
* tests
* update hcl v2 library so that output looks great.
* update docs
* add kex algorithm option to ssh config
* regenerate code
* This commit fixes old vmware acceptance tests that have not been run in some time. It does this in two parts:
1) It modifies the minimal vmware build configuration to use a custom kex algorithm, which enables the ssh connection to succeed.
2) It modifies logic in reading and defaulting hardware config values, which was crashing.
3) It adds a new acceptance test with a preseed file to test loading from an http directory.
