Hi I am trying to export my final artifact (VMX file on a remote esxi host) 
to an OVA, this command works if i populate variables manually.

Please see my Template and variables attached.

this command works fine:
ovftool -tt=ova vi://root:[email protected]/Windows2012R2v4-2017-06 
ovaexport.ova

this doesn't:
  "post-processors": [
    {
    "type":"shell-local",
    "inline":"ovftool/ovftool -tt=ova vi://{{user `esxi_username`}}:{{user 
`esxi_password`}}@{{user `esxi_host`}}/{{ .Name }} ovaexport1.ova"

IF anyone has managed to pass these variables through successfully or can 
see what i am doing wrong that would be great if you could help..

James
