`env:COMPUTERNAME` give you the first 15 characters of the machine name (the NetBIOS name).
But normally its pretty nice to get the full DNS name. We can solve this in this way.
* mapstructure-to-hcl2: when we see a map generate an attribute spec and not a block spec
this will alow to do
tags = {
key = "value"
}
instead of
tags {
key = "value"
}
This will also enable using variables directly for those tags
* generate code
* update tests
This follows #8232 which added the code to generate the code required to parse
HCL files for each packer component.
All old config files of packer will keep on working the same. Packer takes one
argument. When a directory is passed, all files in the folder with a name
ending with “.pkr.hcl” or “.pkr.json” will be parsed using the HCL2 format.
When a file ending with “.pkr.hcl” or “.pkr.json” is passed it will be parsed
using the HCL2 format. For every other case; the old packer style will be used.
## 1. the hcl2template pkg can create a packer.Build from a set of HCL (v2) files
I had to make the packer.coreBuild (which is our one and only packer.Build ) a public struct with public fields
## 2. Components interfaces get a new ConfigSpec Method to read a file from an HCL file.
This is a breaking change for packer plugins.
a packer component can be a: builder/provisioner/post-processor
each component interface now gets a `ConfigSpec() hcldec.ObjectSpec`
which allows packer to tell what is the layout of the hcl2 config meant
to configure that specific component.
This ObjectSpec is sent through the wire (RPC) and a cty.Value is now
sent through the already existing configuration entrypoints:
Provisioner.Prepare(raws ...interface{}) error
Builder.Prepare(raws ...interface{}) ([]string, error)
PostProcessor.Configure(raws ...interface{}) error

Example hcl files:
```hcl
// file amazon-ebs-kms-key/run.pkr.hcl
build {
sources = [
"source.amazon-ebs.first",
]
provisioner "shell" {
inline = [
"sleep 5"
]
}
post-processor "shell-local" {
inline = [
"sleep 5"
]
}
}
// amazon-ebs-kms-key/source.pkr.hcl
source "amazon-ebs" "first" {
ami_name = "hcl2-test"
region = "us-east-1"
instance_type = "t2.micro"
kms_key_id = "c729958f-c6ba-44cd-ab39-35ab68ce0a6c"
encrypt_boot = true
source_ami_filter {
filters {
virtualization-type = "hvm"
name = "amzn-ami-hvm-????.??.?.????????-x86_64-gp2"
root-device-type = "ebs"
}
most_recent = true
owners = ["amazon"]
}
launch_block_device_mappings {
device_name = "/dev/xvda"
volume_size = 20

volume_size = 500
volume_type = "gp2"

* I had to contextualise Communicator.Start and RemoteCmd.StartWithUi
NOTE: Communicator.Start starts a RemoteCmd but RemoteCmd.StartWithUi will run the cmd and wait for a return, so I renamed StartWithUi to RunWithUi so that the intent is clearer.
Ideally in the future RunWithUi will be named back to StartWithUi and the exit status or wait funcs of the command will allow to wait for a return. If you do so please read carrefully https://golang.org/pkg/os/exec/#Cmd.Stdout to avoid a deadlock
* cmd.ExitStatus to cmd.ExitStatus() is now blocking to avoid race conditions
* also had to simplify StartWithUi
Updated winrm and winrmcp dependencies. Relevant unit and acceptance tests passed successfully.
shell.Execute didn't return a Command object.
See f1bcf36a69/winrmcp/cp.go (L167) and 54ea5d0147/winrm/shell.go (L10-L22) respectively.
Closes#3763
Original patch by: Philipp Kosel <philipp.kosel@gmail.com>
Two windows-restart tests would timeout and fail due to the cancellation
thread firing before the cancel object was created. This change syncronizes
the start of the threads to prevent this from occurring.
