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
close#1768
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_type = "gp2"
delete_on_termination = "true"
}
launch_block_device_mappings {
device_name = "/dev/xvdf"
volume_size = 500
volume_type = "gp2"
delete_on_termination = true
encrypted = true
}
ami_regions = ["eu-central-1"]
run_tags {
Name = "packer-solr-something"
stack-name = "DevOps Tools"
}
communicator = "ssh"
ssh_pty = true
ssh_username = "ec2-user"
associate_public_ip_address = true
}
```
this regroups the calls of tmp func calls into one package.
the tmp pkg allows to store tmp files under a common directory for easier managment

Co-Authored-By: Matthew Patton <pattonme@yahoo.com>
Previously, the Ansible provisioner would look for the username from the
`USER` environment variable. Unfortunately, this is not always set -
particularly in Docker containers. It's very confusing to understand why
the error is happening.
Switched to using Go's built-in `os/user` package for retrieving the
current username. @rickard-von-essen had done this in 7369841, but
moved away from it in d59844f because, at the time, it wasn't possible
to use that library with cross-compilation. This was fixed in Go in
795e712b72
Add an `inventory_directory` setting to the Ansible provisioner that
allows a user to specify a directory in which the Packer Ansible
provisioner would write the generated inventory file. If a value is
specified for this setting, then have the Packer Ansible provisioner
pass this directory as the -i arg when it calls ansible.
This would allow an Ansible playbook used by the Packer Ansible
provisioner to use variables specified in `host_vars` and `group_vars`
in this inventory directory.
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
Assume the scp target is a file instead of a directory. Assuming the scp
target is a file instead of a directory allows uploading files to a node
being provisioned with the ssh communciator using sftp and with the
winrm communicator. It is fully compatible with ansible; ansible
communicators only allow for files (never directories) to be uploaded
(when the copy module is used to upload a directory, ansible walks the
directory and uploads files one at a time).
Update documentation to explain how to provision a Windows image.
Extend tests that use ssh to communicate with the node to include single
files, recursive copies, and content-only recursive copies.
Add test to verify support for the winrm communicator.
Remove the err argument from adapter.scpExec, because it was unused.
Fixes#3911
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.
Handle running `scp -t` and `scp -f` exec requests in the
ansible-provisioner's SSH
server to allow Ansible to use SCP so that SFTP doesn't have to be
installed on the node.
Update the BATS tests to test the ansible provisioner.
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.
