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?

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 On Tue, May 8, 2018 at 3:03 PM, Aaron Kulbe <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: 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.
