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.
* Drop the iso_checksum_type & iso_checksum_url fields
In favor of simply using iso_checksum that will know what to do.
