Yes, I've read the documentation. But the fact is that this JSON excerpt
below from the packer docs does not work -
https://www.packer.io/docs/provisioners/file.html
The 'file' provisioner ignores the fact that its source directive is being
created by the 'shell-local' directive. Packer fails this JSON config, as
is, unmodified.
{
"provisioners": [
{
"type": "shell-local",
"command": "mkdir -p toupload; tar cf toupload/files.tar files"
},
{
"destination": "/tmp/",
"source": "./toupload",
"type": "file"
},
{
"inline": [
"cd /tmp && tar xf toupload/files.tar",
"rm toupload/files.tar"
],
"type": "shell"
}
]}
