When a template describes a build block without a source reference, the
build should be considered invalid as we won't have a CoreBuild produced
as a result of the need to have both.
In current versions of Packer, this will produce an error message
hinting that nothing will happen because of the lack of either build or
source block.
This commit takes the defined block, and points out to it as missing a
source block as being the reason why nothing is happening, making it
clearer what is required for an HCL2 build to be processed.
When a variable is set in a pkrvars file, but isn't defined, an error
message is output, but does not deliver an example of what is expected
by Packer in order to complete a build.
To remedy that, we improve the error message by giving an example of
variable block to include in the build template.
When a template with some builds to run ends its GetBuilds with an
error, and no builds produced, we can exit immediately without printing
more errors.
This commit replaces `os.Setenv` with `t.Setenv` in tests. The
environment variable is automatically restored to its original value
when the test and all its subtests complete.

When a `packer build' is run on a config that does not define anything
to be built, the process would run normally, and only state that no
artifacts were produced after builds were run successfully.
This is misleading as we reach the end of the command without having a
proper warning that nothing was even attempted to be built.
This commit adds a warning when that happens, and leaves immediately
after.
* allowing to set shell env vars from a key/value map.
* tests
This new map will work alongside the `environment_vars` but it allows using a
datasource value seamlessly. At validation, and because `environment_vars` was
an array of strings containing `KEY=value`, using datsources would not work,
because these values are not known yet and would evaluate to `<unknown>`. With
this, the value and the key can be unknown and will validate correctly for
datasources.
* evaluateLocalVariables: modify code for readability and some (not benchmarked) perfs
* Make default input variable type the DynamicPseudoType
This should be the default, and avoids a panic. This type can represent situations where a type is not yet known. Its meaning is undefined in cty.
* do not take Empty types from default value
* Update types.variables.go

* Add variable interpolation support to hcp_packer_registry block
* Add tests for variable interpolation in hcp_packer_registry block
* Add variable interpolation support to the build block (#11425)
* Add simple test to build command
* add test for crash
* fix
* show more precise error message when parse of a provisioner fails
* Revert "fix"
This reverts commit fc88e89fbb.
* add better severity
This :
* allows to have a `build.dynamic` block
* add tests
* makes sure to show a correct message when a source was not found
* display only name of source (instead of a weird map printout)
* use a "Did you mean %q" feature where possible
Because dynamic blocks need all variables to be evaluated and available, I moved parsing of everything that is not a variable to "after" variables are extrapolated. Meaning that dynamic block get expanded in the `init` phase and then only we start interpreting HCL2 content.
After #10819fix#10657
This adds the new `required_plugins` block to be nested under the packer block.
Example:
```hcl
packer {
required_plugins {
aws = {
version = ">= 2.7.0"
source = "azr/aws"
}
azure = ">= 2.7.0"
}
}
```
For example on darwin_amd64 Packer will install those under :
* "${PACKER_HOME_DIR}/plugin/github.com/azr/amazon/packer-plugin-amazon_2.7.0_x5.0_darwin_amd64"
* "${PACKER_HOME_DIR}/plugin/github.com/hashicorp/azure/packer-plugin-azure_2.7.0_x5.0_darwin_amd64_x5"
+ docs
+ tests
* 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
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
