So after the previous post I am trying to make my json file dynamic by
making anything I can into a variable. However now I am getting the
following error:
output will be in this color.
Warnings for build '':
* Headless mode uses VNC to retrieve output. Since VNC has been disabled,
you won't be able to see any output.
Build '' errored: Failed creating VMware driver: Unable to initialize any
driver for this platform. The errors
from each driver are shown below. Please fix at least one driver
to continue:
* exec: "vmware": executable file not found in $PATH
* exec: "vmware": executable file not found in $PATH
* exec: "vmplayer": executable file not found in $PATH
* exec: "vmplayer": executable file not found in $PATH
==> Some builds didn't complete successfully and had errors:
--> : Failed creating VMware driver: Unable to initialize any driver for
this platform. The errors
from each driver are shown below. Please fix at least one driver
to continue:
* exec: "vmware": executable file not found in $PATH
* exec: "vmware": executable file not found in $PATH
* exec: "vmplayer": executable file not found in $PATH

==> Builds finished but no artifacts were created.
Here is what the config looks like now:

}
I tried running the packer json file with the following syntax:
[andrew.meyer@automation01 vmware]$ packer build -var-file=variables.json
centos-esxi.json
Usage: packer build [options] TEMPLATE
Will execute multiple builds in parallel as defined in the template.
The various artifacts created by the template will be outputted.
Options:
-color=false Disable color output. (Default: color)
-debug Debug mode enabled for builds.
-except=foo,bar,baz Build all builds other than these.
-only=foo,bar,baz Build only the specified builds.
-force Force a build to continue if artifacts
exist, deletes existing artifacts.
-machine-readable Produce machine-readable output.
-on-error=[cleanup|abort|ask] If the build fails do: clean up (default),
abort, or ask.
-parallel=false Disable parallelization. (Default: parallel)
-timestamp-ui Enable prefixing of each ui output with an
RFC3339 timestamp.
-var 'key=value' Variable for templates, can be used
multiple times.
-var-file=path JSON file containing user variables.
invalid value "variables.json" for flag -var-file: Error reading variables
in 'variables.json': invalid character '"' after object key:value pair
[andrew.meyer@automation01 vmware]$
The logs show that it has discovered the vmware plugin. I suspect I
changed more than I should have or I have a typo....
