Hey, might anyone be able to help me with something? I am currently working on something for work using packer. I am attempting a series of steps with packer, the last of which is an import with the amazon import post processor. The issue I would like to ask about is the issue of timing out with the error: ResourceNotReady: exceeded wait attempts. I have tried to debug this myself and have come across the advice to set the AWS_MAX_ATTEMPTS and AWS_POLL_DELAY_SECONDS to values higher than the default. I have done so, or at least I have as far as I can tell, with adding the following section to my json file:
"variables": {
"AWS_MAX_ATTEMPTS": "1000",
"AWS_POLL_DELAY_SECONDS" :"10"
}
Even after adding this though it still continues to fail. Does anyone have any advice on how I can proceed? Have I just screwed up the variables section or is there anything else I can try. I'll attach a copy of my file here minus the access and secret keys since I don't think I need to be sharing that. Thank you to anyone who can help.

Those are environment variables so try something like
AWS_MAX_ATTEMPTS=100 packer build...

You mean something like packer build -var "AWS_MAX_ATTEMPTS=100" whatever.json? Try specifying it in the command rather than the json file?

No, like `export "AWS_MAX_ATTEMPTS=100"; packer build whatever.json`

I see. I'll give that a try then. Thank you for your time.

no problem; I can understand the confusion. We should probably allow this option to also be set as a config var.

Ok. Trying your suggestion got me a different error. Now it fails with: ResourceNotReady: failed waiting for successful resource state. I'm currently trying to debug this, but haven't found anything useful yet. Any suggestions? If anyone wants to see anything else to help with this, please ask and i'll upload it. Thank you for your time and help.

What does aws ec2 describe-image-import-tasks give you?
