I know very little about Windows, but the problem seems to be that the
shell-local assumes a Posix shell (and also does shell). To workaround
this you can override the default "execute_command" (according to
Megan Marsh).
{
"type":"shell-local",
"execute_command": "Powershell.exe Move-Item {{.Script}}
{{.Script}}.ps1; Powershell.exe -File {{.Script}}.ps1",
"inline": ["ovftool/ovftool.exe -tt=ova
vi://root:[email protected]/VMIMAGE ovaexport1.ova"]
}
This will result in that the following command will be executed:
- A temp file will be created with content of <inline> (which should
be an array).
- The script is moved to a new name with extension ps1 since
Powershell seems to require this.
- The script is executed.
Run the null builder against a running machine or a Vagrant box and try it out.
