Hi all, I'm a bit of a Packer n00b, so I hope this isn't a silly question. Skip to the bottom for the tl;dr, but here's the situation:
I'm using the ansible-local provisioner on an image where ansible was installed in the ssh user's account via pip install --user ansible~=2.9 This places all the ansible executables in ~/.local/bin. The user's $PATH is modified appropriately in the bash profile, but since Packer's ssh communicator doesn't run the remote command in a login shell, this has no effect. If I update the command to be PATH=$PATH:~/.local/bin ANSIBLE_REMOTE_TEMP=/opt/packer-provisioner-ansible-local PYTHONUNBUFFERED=1 ansible-playbook it seems to work fine (of course I could just as easily specify the full command path). The problem comes when I try to run ansible-galaxy. I get a command not found error, so I attempt a similar fix by setting galaxy_command: PATH=$PATH:~/.local/bin ansible-galaxy This is documented here <https://www.packer.io/docs/provisioners/ansible-local.html#galaxy_command>, but I get the following error: Errors validating build 'mybuild'. 1 error occurred: * unknown configuration key: "galaxy_command" I am running packer version 1.4.5; it looks like the galaxy parameters were added in 1.4.3. The target OS is Amazon Linux 2 (very much RHEL compatible). 1) Why can't I use galaxy_command? 2) Is there a better way of handling the non-standard location for ansible binaries? Thanks!
