Packer failed to continue running the template after the PowerShell domain
join command was executed.
This issue has been here for a while, I did raise this issue as a bug but
@Mathew suggested me to update the plugins which I already did, and also to
wait for the latest release which could possibly fix my issue, but the
issue still has not been resolved and I believe this is a bug and hopefully
there would be someone to investigate this bug. Thanks so much.
As I need to add the temporary VM which is generated by Packer during the
build into the domain, I have added a Domain join PowerShell script into
the template which looks like this:
$domain = "xxxxx"
$password = "xxxxx" | ConvertTo-SecureString -asPlainText -Force
$username = "$domain\aaa.bbb"
$credential = New-Object
System.Management.Automation.PSCredential($username,$password)
Add-Computer -DomainName $domain -Credential $credential
and then in the provisioners part of the template, I have placed the domain
join script before the windows-restart command.
{ "type": "powershell",
"script": "PackerUpload/join_domain.ps1" },
{ "type": "windows-restart",
"restart_check_command": "powershell -command \"& {Write-Output
'restarted.'}\"" }
Technically, Packer is supposed to restart and continue the running other
components in the template. However, I don't know why the packer build
failed to restart or even run another script (I did attempt to replace the
windows-restart with another PowerShell script, but it also failed to run).
I might suspect that the domain join script has somehow disconnected the
temporary VM with Packer or maybe Packer failed to reconnect the VM after
the domain join script had been successfully executed. I guess this may be
a bug in Packer. I have attached the debug_log below. There is no problem
if I run other PowerShell scripts (not domain join one), the connection is
fine and windows-restart works fine. Thank you.
Info:
- Packer version from 1.2.3
- Host platform: Windows10
- Debug log output from PACKER_LOG=1 packer build template.json.
