I’m using the ovftool post-processor because I also want to generate an OVA for 
use outside of vSphere. Are you saying I can still do that with the vSphere 
plugin?

Hello Aaron,
I am not sure why you are using the ovftool post-processor - as the vsphere 
already does that.  For your code to work use this format:
"post-processors": [
    [
      {
          "type": "vagrant",
      },
      {
          "type": "vsphere",
      },
     {
        "type": "vsphere-template",
     }
  ]
 ]

The reason to have it in the [] block is to pass the artifact from the previous 
post-processor - specially in case of using the vSphere and the 
vSphere-template (to mark it as template it needs to know what was processed by 
the vSphere post processor)  I really feel that you don't need the ovftool 
processor.

Try this within the array block of [] and it should work.

Thanks

Hi Alvaro,

Thank you for responding. I have four total post-processors running, as shown 
below. If I use the double brackets as you mentioned previously, and try them 
around all four post-processors, it doesn’t work. If I double-bracket around 
just vsphere and vsphere-template, and remove vagrant and ovftool blocks, it 
works. Is there any way to do all four post-processors? I’m not sure how to 
format it.

"post-processors": [
    {
      "type": "vagrant",
    },
    {
      "type": "ovftool",
    },
    {
      "type": "vsphere",
    },
    {
      "type": "vsphere-template",
    }
  ]
