* 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
* HCL2: Test that the packer block passes in packer validate
* HCL2: Test invalid packer blocks are invalid
* docs: state from which version the packer block is available
* Add packer fmt command
This change adds a new command that allows users to format one or more
HCL2 Packer configuration template files.
Related to: #9174
* command/fmt: Add check flag
Packer's fmt command now supports a check flag that will output the name
of any file that would be changed by the HCL2 formatting engine. The
check flag is mutually exclusive with the write flag and will only check
if formatting is needed.
The update write flag will now overwrite the source files with the newly
formatted HCL2 source unless the `-write=false` or `-check` is passed at
the command line.
* Returns a diagnostic error if Format is unable to show a diff - equivalent to `terraform fmt`
* Updates testing to run against #Format and not the private methods of the HCL2Formatter; fixes ShowDiff test failure on Windows
* Updates comments for exported functions
* Add docs for fmt command
* handle template_dir, pwd funcs, handle min_packer_version
* gotpl packer_version becomes hcl2 packer.version
* uuid becomes hcl2 uuidv4
* test code with emojis
* handle all cases were we cannot guess what the argument was
* handle clean_resource_name cases
* up docs
* add the possibility to set the packer.required_version field; to make sure the template file works with that version of Packer
* add tests
* add documentation on packer.required_version
Example:
packer {
required_version = ">= 1.2.0, < 2.0.0"
}
Before change
```
Usage: packer [--version] [--help] <command> [<args>]
Available commands are:
build build image(s) from template
console creates a console for testing variable interpolation
fix fixes templates from old versions of packer
hcl2_upgrade build image(s) from template
inspect see components of a template
validate check that a template is valid
version Prints the Packer version
```
After change

when it encounters map[string]interface{} or []interface{} types, hcl2_upgrade now takes the 'most complex' entry from those in order to tell wether this is going to be a body `body {}` or an attribute `attribute = {}`. Before that the hcl2_upgrade command could be a bit random there.
A way better ( but may be somewhat hard ) way to do this would be to use the actual plugins structs in order to generate the HCL2.
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
added `post-processors` block to run chained post-processors after a build.
Before this, defining multiple `post-processor` blocks after
provisioning steps would run them sequentially, now doing this makes them start
from the build's artifact. To queue post-processors you now have to define them
in a `post-processors` block.
This is a breaking change.
The initialization of packer core in JSON also validates that `null` variables were set, except in the case of `packer validate --syntax-only` , but after the refactor to allow to have all commands work with HCL2 and JSON this subtlety was lost.
This refactors the initialisation of the core in order to allow to have `packer validate --syntax-only` not error in case a variable is not set. Since these calls are refactored this works for HCL2 too.
fix#9478
* Update validate command to use FixConfig for checking against known
fixers
* Update validation command flag docs
* Add ConfigFixer method to PackerHandler Interface
* Implement ConfigFixer interface in PackerConfig
* Remove all stdout messaging (i.e calls to c.Ui.Say) in the validate
command. The command will only display hcl.Diagnotic messaging when there is an error or warning.

* refactor so that json and hcl2 templates are both prepared in the same place in the build call, to make code easier to reason about. Remove overly verbose error output which isn't useful in vast majority of cases
* fix tests
* check err msg
* hcl2template.PackerConfig.GetBuilds: raise a diagnostic in case the packer core build perpare call errors
