Hi everyone, I am building an image and during the build I have the following error below. Any clue of what it can be ?

looks like you access is being rejected when it tries to ssh into the vmware... can you look into your json file and find the ssh_username and ssh_password entries and try to logging into your vmware with those values and check if it works

Hi Gabo, yes I can login to ESXi using the ssh_password and ssh_username values. My password has an @ sign, not sure if it can be a problem. Checking

Checked and packer is connecting to the ESXi not be VM I am creating, because I have two shell provisioners one to copy a config file and the second to set the OS packages. And the config file was copied to the ESXi host not the VM.

will probably recommend you to change to a simpler password.. like uppercase, lowercase and numbers and see if that works.. then add special characters..

also would be useful if you share your Packer JSON file.. to review it

also the packer version you are running as well as the ESXi version would be helpful

It can connect via SSH with no problem, but saw here that when it gets to the provisioning part it's running on the ESXi host not the packer is creating. Maybe I need to set a static ip for this VM.

Packer version is 1.6.6 and ESXi is 7.0.0 (Build 16324942)

But as the VM gets its from DHCP, I will try to set a static ip address for it. Just need to check if I can do it via vmx_data and the correct property to use. (ESXi novice here)

I see you have 2 mote access
1. to connect to the ESXi
2. To connect to the VM once created
Seems your ESXi access is sorted, I did a bit of google and noticed the error you are getting, it is likely that is because of a corrupted VM Definition
So would recommend you to look first into the definition of your vmx_data, In regards this, I did create one a long time ago, you can use that as a baseline, if helps
But to avoid getting into too much trouble.. will start with a working Packer JSON file . CHEF in their github repo have some working templates you may want to use as a baseline

ESXi connection is right, only issue is packer connecting to the guest VM. Checked here and my vm it getting an ipv4, even when I mannually created it. As soon I solve this, I think thr build will run without an issue.

that's progress.. I would recommend first run the build as follows
packer build -on-error=ask build_file.json
if you do not find anything "abnormal" , then run packer with debug mode ON

I set a static up for the VM and could access it via ssh, but packer outputs SSH the error below:

This user is intented to log in only via public key, but packer cannot connect. Is it possible for packer connect via public key to the guest via ssh when using the vmware-iso builder or just password ?

this is what I thought would be the case.. you have to look into your sshd_config configuration.. I would probably go simpler and use, username and password for packer-->VM authentication.. and get simple sshd_config configuration to be installed in the VM...

s [none], no supported methods remain
s [none], no supported methods remain
this to me potentially indicates that packer do not know how to use the certificate.. but without seeing the actual sshd_config to be copy in the VM will be imposible for me to tell..
here is one issue which looks similar to your issue

Managed to have login into the VM using the password.
