Log Fragments and crash.log files
Hi @shanduur,
Out of curiosity, are you using a custom version of the ansible plugin? I have version 1.0.3 on my test setup, and it looks like the -vvvvv is not part of the produced command-line (as expected since I don't see us adding it to the generated command).
Aside from this curiosity, I do experience the same behaviour as you, I'll continue looking into this, and hopefully figure out a fix or workaround for this use case.
Thanks for bringing this up to us!
Re-reading your template, the extra_arguments section has arguments like the following: "--extra-vars ansible_host=${build.MountPath}", as per the documentation for the plugin (SEE: https://developer.hashicorp.com/packer/plugins/provisioners/ansible/ansible#extra_arguments), these are supposed to be declared as separate arguments in the array, like:
extra_args [
"--extra-vars", "ansible_host=${build.MountPath}"
]
Doing this in your template does not yield the error that you experienced, I still have some, but they are linked to the SSH configuration, so it's not related to this problem at least.
If you try this, let me know if you still experience this problem.
Yes, this worked!
-vvv - I wanted to get more verbose output, this was one of my "trials".
Good to hear!
If your problem's solved then, I'll go on and close this issue, feel free to reopen if you still experience some issue related to this.
