Hi All,
I have been using packer for ami builds recently. when I used the variables
inside the template, template works fine but when I provide the variables
using -var-file=variables.json, it throws me below mentioned error.
*"Error reading variables in 'vars.json': json: cannot unmarshal object
into Go value of type string"*
I looked for a thread to find out the solution, but haven't had luck
finding it. Most of the threads are incomplete...
Can someone please shed some light why is this happening. Below is my
variables file.
{
"variables":
{
"aws_access_key": "{{env `AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID`}}",
"aws_secret_key": "{{env `AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY`}}",
"aws_session_token" : "{{env `AWS_SESSION_TOKEN`}}",
"region": "us-east-1",
"iam_role": "packer-role",
"vpc_id": "vpc-xxxxxxx",
"subnet_id": "subnet-xxxxxxxx",
"security_group_id": "sg-xxxxxxxxx",
"created_ami_name": "xxxxxxxx-{{env `date +%Y-%m-%d`}}",
"kms_key_id": "ami-kms-key",
"instance_type": "t2.micro",
"Environment": "dev",
"source_ami_name": "testami",
"ssh_username": "ubuntu",
"script": "setup.sh",
"owners": ["987654321"]
}
