Re: [packer] Re: Variable file option in packer
This happened to me and it was because for a var-file you don't need the
"variables": {...
just open and close { }...
so {
"var1": "value"
}

Re: [packer] Re: Variable file option in packer
what happens when you have a nested comma?
example:
{
"variables": {
"changes": "CMD [\"/bar\"],ENTRYPOINT [\"/foo\",\"--\"]"
},
"builders": [
{
"type": "docker",
"image": "ubuntu:16.04",
"run_command": ["-d", "{{.Image}}"],
"changes": "{{ user `changes`}}",
"commit": true
}

"post-processors": [
[
{

Re: [packer] Re: Variable file option in packer
Variables should always be strings. Array type options which gets a
variable splits them on comma. You variables.json should be:
{
"ami_users" : "1,,",
"ami_regions": "us-east-1,eu-west-1"
}
And in your packer template you use them like this:
{
"variables": {
"ami_users": null,
"ami_regions": null
},
"builders": [
{
"type": "amazon-ebs",
"ami_users": "{{ user `ami_users` }}"
}
]
