В https://packer.io/guides/hcl/from-json-v1/ написано
Примечание. Начиная с версии 1.5.0 Packer может читать файлы HCL2.
И мой упаковщик - packer_1.5.5_linux_amd64.zip, который предполагает возможность чтения файлов HCL2. Однако, когда я попробовал это, я получил
$ packer build -only=docker hcl-example
Failed to parse template: Error parsing JSON: invalid character '#' looking for beginning of value
At line 1, column 1 (offset 1):
1: #

==> Builds finished but no artifacts were created.
$ packer build -h
Usage: packer build [options] TEMPLATE
Will execute multiple builds in parallel as defined in the template.
The various artifacts created by the template will be outputted.
Options:
-color=false Disable color output. (Default: color)
-debug Debug mode enabled for builds.
-except=foo,bar,baz Run all builds and post-procesors other than these.
-only=foo,bar,baz Build only the specified builds.
-force Force a build to continue if artifacts exist, deletes existing artifacts.
-machine-readable Produce machine-readable output.
-on-error=[cleanup|abort|ask] If the build fails do: clean up (default), abort, or ask.
-parallel=false Disable parallelization. (Default: true)
-parallel-builds=1 Number of builds to run in parallel. 0 means no limit (Default: 0)
-timestamp-ui Enable prefixing of each ui output with an RFC3339 timestamp.
-var 'key=value' Variable for templates, can be used multiple times.
-var-file=path JSON file containing user variables. [ Note that even in HCL mode this expects file to contain JSON, a fix is comming soon ]
, и я не вижу никаких переключателей сверху для переключения в режим HCL2.
Что мне здесь не хватает?
$ packer version
Packer v1.5.5
$ cat hcl-example
# the source block is what was defined in the builders section and represents a
# reusable way to start a machine. You build your images from that source.source
"amazon-ebs" "example" {
ami_name = "packer-test"
region = "us-east-1"
instance_type = "t2.micro"
}
[ОБНОВЛЕНИЕ:]
Чтобы ответить на комментарий / озабоченность Мэтта, я изменил содержимое hcl-примера ко всему списку в https://packer.io/guides/hcl/from-json-v1/ и
mv hcl-example hcl-example.hcl
$ packer validate hcl-example.hcl
