Some platforms with incomplete XHCI implementations (i.e. FreeBSD)
will poll the bus despite there being no usb devices available.
This disables XHCI by default and documents how to enable it using
the vmx_data option.
This closes issue #5961.
The ESX5 driver doesn't have a way of mapping the network name to its device name because a .vmx template uses different field names for it and so packer let's ESX handle filling this in. This patch will check to see if the driver that packer determines is missing a NetworkMapper implementation (by checking for nil). If it is, then fall back to using "nat" despite ESX not using the network type at all. This is what packer did prior to exposing the network type to the user back in version 1.1.3.
This closes issue #5916.
It was reported that on WS14 on Linux, that the path may be different than stated in the documentation. This modifies `workstationDhcpConfPath` and `workstationDhcpLeasesPath` functions to walk through every permutation while attempting to find the correct file.
This reinforces the fix for issue #5882.
arizvisa: Updated icnocop's documentation to include the possible disk adapter types that one can specify.
arizvisa: Tweaked icnocop's support for the `disk_adapter_type` option to the VMWare builder that caused conflicts due to version skew.
icnocop: Updated links to the Virtual Disk Manager User's Guide PDF to open in a new window and also added the Adobe PDF icon
icnocop: Added support for vmware to specify the disk adapter type, ide or scsi (lsilogic or buslogic)
Included the yield option to all the serial port types.
Added the ability for the network type to fallback to a custom network if the
specified network name is not found in netmap.conf.
Promoted the scope for both Read{Dhcp,Netmap}Config inside vmwcommon.driver.
Updated the documentation for the VMware builder.
builder/vmware/{iso,vmx}:
Added the specific configuration options that get parsed.
Normalize paths when pulling them from the json template so that they'll work on Windows too.
Added some improved error checking when parsing these options.
Stash the vm's network connection type so that other steps can figure out addressing information
Modified the esx5 driver to support the new addressing logic.
Modified the template in step_create_vmx to include the new options.
builder/vmware/common:
Implemented a parser for vmware's configuration files to the vmware builder.
Modified the driver's interface to include support for resolving both guest/host hw and ip addresses
Implemented a base structure with some methods that implement these features.
Rewrote all ip and mac address dependent code to utilize these new methods.
Removed host_ip and guest_ip due to their logic being moved directly into a
base-structure used by each driver. The code was explicitly checking runtime.GOOS
instead of portably using net.Interfaces() anyways.
Updated driver_mock to support the new addressing methods
Run now takes a context as well as a statebag. We'll assign the context
to the blank identifier to prevent namespace collisions. We'll let the
step authors opt-in to using the context.
`find . -iname "step_*.go" -exec gsed -i'' 's/func \(.*\)Run(/func \1Run(_ context.Context, /' {} \;`
This commit attempts to fix the timestamp-related part of #4885 by using the logic found in the analogous virtualbox implementation. In essence, it applies the solution from commit 93bb0d8 to the vmx case.
This commit adds a new option, `vmx_remove_ethernet_interfaces`, to both
of the VMWare builders. This is useful when building Vagrant boxes,
since Vagrant now produces output such as:
```
WARNING: The VMX file for this box contains a setting that is
automatically overwritten by Vagrant when started. Vagrant will stop
overwriting this setting in an upcoming release which may pre vent
proper networking setup. Below is the detected VMX setting:
ethernet0.pcislotnumber = "33"
If networking fails to properly configure, it may require this VMX
setting. It can be manually applied via the Vagrantfile:
Vagrant.configure(2) do |config|
config.vm.provider :vmware_fusion do |vmware|
vmware.vmx["ethernet0.pcislotnumber"] = "33"
end
end
```
This can be avoided entirely by removing the ethernet adapters from the
VMX file prior to packaging as a Vagrant box, in which case adapters are
created as expected according to the Vagrantfile specification.
[A recent breaking change upstream in Golang's crypto
library](e4e2799dd7)
has broken SSH connectivity for a few builders:

Specifying HostKeyCallback as insecure should make things work again
and would make sense for packer's use case.
Pull request 1504 describes a workaround for a potential race condition in which the VMX builder can fail to remove mounted floppies or CDs. This workaround was enabled for all operating systems except OS X. Since this issue can also occur on OS X, also apply the workaround on it.
At the beginning of each VMware build packer generates a random VNC password and prints it to the terminal / log. When copying a password from a terminal emulator with double-click, the text selection uses word boundaries to attempt to automatically detect where the password string is located. When the password contains weird characers like %^&# this parsing fails and you only get half the password. The reduction in characters does not significantly reduce the entropy of the password but improves user-friendliness when you actually want to use it.
Also deletedsome unused files
If using a builder that has an http server set up for file transfer,
expose the connection info to the shell provisioner through the environment
variable PACKER_HTTP_ADDR.
Closes#2869
- Can now tune delay using PACKER_KEY_INTERVAL
- Added implementation to all of VMware and QEMU
- Removed double delay for QEMU
- Default key delay of 100ms (as before)
- Added docs to QEMU and VMware pages
This option allows to set the extension of the ISO file after download.
Defaults to "iso". It makes sense for building Mac OS X guests, where the
bootable image is actually a DMG, not an ISO.
In particular, it is important for "parallels-iso" builder to set the right extension.
Ensure that all builders include FloppyDirectories in the StepCreateFloppy options.
Changed the way the unit-tests in common/step_create_floppy_test work to use the static test-fixtures directory instead of creating the paths dynamically.
Removed a duplicate line of documentation from parallels-pvm.html.md that occurred during rebasing.
Moved the support for recursive paths from the floppy_files keyword to the new floppy_contents keyword.
Shifted some of the code around to add better logging of what's actually being copied.
Added a couple of unit-tests for the new floppy_contents implementation.
Ensured that all files that were being added were also being included in state.FilesAdded so that the older unit-tests will work.
* The remotedisplay.vnc.ip vmx data key breaks ESXi, this commit prevents it
from being automatically added during VNC configuration when using the ESX5
driver.
* It can still be configured via the vmx_data section of the builder
template

Add support for using ctrl, shift and alt as key modifiers. So you can now achieve ctrl+c by using "<leftCtrlOn>c<leftCtrlOff>".
Updated documentation for new key stroke tokens.
When debugging a build (or maintaining an existing packer file), teach `packer build -debug` how to step through individual `boot_command`s in order to triage the packer file.

Prevalidates hardware resources on Linux platforms for Virtualbox and
VMware builders. This is currently only available on Linux, as enabling
for both Darwin and Windows platforms, relies on cgo bindings that would
prevent effective cross-compilation.
Packer will now fail to build and validate templates if the template is
requesting that the VM to be created would allocate more system
resources than the host system has available.
This _however_ doesn't catch parallel builds that overflow the hosts
resources, will probably still need a better error message for VM's
failing to boot in that case.

* I suspect the logic written for checking if the vm has been destroyed is incorrect. The test will come back from the esx server indicating that the vm is gone as it should, but the logic I believe is reversed so we never hit the break in the if statement
* Feedback is MORE than welcome
If `format` option is configured, packer exports the VM with ovftool.

post-processor/vsphere: Enable to use `mitchellh.vmware-esx` artifact type and OVF and OVA formats, fixes#1457.
The ISO builders (parallels, qemu, virtualbox, and vmware) had too
much common code which needed to be maintained separately. This change
moves that code to a common ISO configuration.
PR #2309 introduced case-sensitive options in VMX files. This is to support a case-sensitive option called `virtualSSD`. The change made all options case-sensitive, which causes problems with external VMX options provided in user templates. To prevent breakage, this change is being reverted.

An additional client can be connected during build time for inspection.
We can manually connect and set our VNC clients to ignore all input or
we can connect with vnc2flv to record the build session for later
verification.
I exposed TargetPath as a config file option "target_path". I don't like
the name, but it follows the naming convention. The purpose of TargetPath
stands unmodified, and it enables a fair amount of customization.
When providing a hierarchical output_directory value like
'transient/jenkins-slave', the VM would fail to build in the CreateDisk
step. The properly created output directory would not match the location
provided to CreateDisk, since datastorePath() did not properly split such
paths. Now this case works; tested hierarchical and singular
output_directory values.
Fixes the following vet report:
builder/vmware/common/step_shutdown_test.go:130: missing argument for Fatalf("%s"): format reads arg 1, have only 0 args
Change the default behavior from requesting a PTY when executing a
command with the ssh communicator to requesting a PTY only when
configured to do so.
Update the vmware builders to be fully backward compatible with the new
behavior.
We need to ensure the VMWare process has exited before attempting to run VMX file cleanup steps, otherwise VMWare may overwrite our changes. While Packer does its best to ensure VMWare has exited, there's still a race condition on some OSs between VMWare flushing the VMX and Packer updating it. The workaround is to artifically wait 5 seconds.
When using the VMX builder its possible for the source machine to have a floppy and/or CD-ROM mounted which gets cloned to the new VM Packer spins up, but have no Packer configuration for those devices. With this change we always attempt to remove the mounted devices regardless of the Packer configuration.
In order that something consuming an artifact can have access to extra
builder specific data add the State method which allows the caller to
ask for arbitary values by name.
Adds logic to ESXi driver VNC Address function to ignore listen
addresses that bind to localhost (127.0.0.1), this allows certain
default ports to be available on ESXi for VNC connections
When using the VMX builder its possible for the source machine to have a floppy configured which gets cloned to the new VM Packer spins up. When the new VM's Packer config doesn't have a floppy_files config entry, the Packer clean VMX step fails to remove the floppy disk from the new VM. This can cause build failures, for example with the vsphere post processor; generating errors like:
* Post-processor failed: Failed: exit status 1
Error: File (/home/teamcity/tmp/buildTmp/packer941120499) could not be found.
Opening the cloned VM's VMX file you can clearly see it has a floppy entry from the source machine's VMX file (exact same path) even though the Packer config contains no floppy_files entry.
Add configuration option to explicitly control where Packer uploads
ISO and floppy files to on ESXi hosts. The `remote_cache_datastore`
defaults to the `remote_datastore` value. The 'remote_cache_directory'
defaults to 'packer_cache', similar to the local caching capabilities.
Addresses issues with [GH-1218] and [GH-1221] where paths for uploaded
ISO and floppy files are not written to a valid location in the
datastore.
This commit fixes errors like this in the vsphere post-processor when using floppy files in the builder step:
Error: File (/var/folders/zl/57c1vmr532z_ryf1scw53_b9ycmxh7/T/packer964492999) could not be found
The configure VMX step re-adds the floppy files, so we need to configure the VMX and _then_ clean the VMX in that order.
before, this code had joining path elements by filepath module. filepath module generate path string with backslash-joined in Windows. but ESX require path string with slash-joined. it means that this code generate illegal path string in windows. illegal path string raised "Error creating disk".
this patch fixes path separator from backslash to slash in windows. from this, creating disk would succeed without error.
