Hi Alvaro, I was able to figure out the issue. It seems PACKER works fine.
Issue was in my script in highlighted line WORNG: packer build -only=BUILDER-TEST-ESXI -var-file=%VARIABLES_FILE_PATH1% %VARIABLES_FILE_PATH2% >> test.log 2>&1 CORRECT: packer build -only=BUILDER-TEST-ESXI -var-file=%VARIABLES_FILE_PATH1% %VARIABLES_FILE_PATH2% >> test.log Here is the working script in which i am able to catch the error... @echo off REM setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion cls SET "APP_HOME_DIR=%~dp0" SET "APP_BIN_DIR=%~dp0bin" SET "PACKER_HOME=;%APP_BIN_DIR%\packer" SET "VARIABLES_FILE_PATH1=%APP_HOME_DIR%template\variablesTest.json" SET "VARIABLES_FILE_PATH2=%APP_HOME_DIR%template\connectToESXiTest.json" SET "PATH=%PATH%%PACKER_HOME%" echo Validating Template packer validate -var-file=%VARIABLES_FILE_PATH1% %VARIABLES_FILE_PATH2% echo Packer Build packer build -only=BUILDER-TEST-ESXI -var-file=%VARIABLES_FILE_PATH1% %VARIABLES_FILE_PATH2% >> test.log IF %ERRORLEVEL% NEQ 0 echo Error: Seems packers exited with non-zero exit code Thanks, Becky On Friday, April 14, 2017 at 2:17:55 PM UTC+5:30, Alvaro Miranda Aguilera wrote: > > Hello i see test.sh but you mention run.bat, so I assume you run packer in > windows, and want to capture the error? > > > lets go on stages > > Can you run the packer in debug mode so we can confirm the exit code of > that part is fine? > > set PACKER_LOG=1 > > then run the build > > share a gist (gist.github.com) > > and if you can run in your run.bat something like this after the packer > run: > if %errorlevel% neq 0 exit /b %errorlevel% > > Should help. > > Thanks > Alvaro > > On Thu, Apr 13, 2017 at 9:49 AM, Becky <[email protected] <javascript:>> > wrote: > >> Hi, >> >> >> I am using packer 1.0.0 on Windows 10. >> >> >> >> *Run.bat* >> >> >> >> Packer build –only mybuilder –var-file=variables_file.json >> >> Echo %errorlevel% >> >> <<This always show 0 even if my shell scripts exited with returned code >> 1. >> >> Is this expected behavior, if so then how can one catch the errors of >> SHELL and take action in run.bat file ?>> >> >> >> >> *variables_file.json* >> >> >> >> { >> >> "builders": [{ >> >> "type": "null", >> >> "name": " mybuilder", >> >> "ssh_host": "{{user ` host`}}", >> >> "ssh_username": "{{user ` username`}}", >> >> "ssh_password": "{{user ` password`}}", >> >> "ssh_timeout" : "{{user `esxi_ssh_timeout`}}" >> >> }], >> >> "provisioners": [{ >> >> "type": "shell", >> >> "only": ["mybuilder"], >> >> "scripts": [ >> >> "script/testESXi.sh" >> >> ] >> >> } >> >> ] >> >> } >> >> >> >> *testESXi.sh* >> >> >> >> #!/bin/sh >> >> >> >> exit 1; >> >> >> Regards, >> >> Becky >> >> -- >> This mailing list is governed under the HashiCorp Community Guidelines - >> https://www.hashicorp.com/community-guidelines.html.
