ssh_wait_timeout deprecated?

[tjoh...@clearpath.ai]

I started experimenting with packerlicious to generate my templates at build time. 

In my use case, it gives me this error output:

AttributeError: vmware-iso object does not support attribute ssh_wait_timeout

However, I am able to run templates with this field set in my vmware-iso builder (and it seems to work - builds do not time out quickly while waiting for SSH).

What is the proper way to achieve this with the supported variables in Packer 1.2.3 (which packerlicious supports)?

My use case is this: boot from a custom debian netboot ISO, then reboot, THEN make SSH available to run provisioners from the template.

Thanks for the pointer - bit me too.

Can I ask that "packer validate" flag deprecated options?  I have my build script run validate but it didn't catch the change from "ssh_wait_timeout" to "ssh_timeout".

Thanks,

Dan

Hey Dan -- we've been talking about having Packer do that kind of validation automatically for every build. Right now, it's something you can do yourself by running "Packer fix yourconfig.json"
