CI : detect build errors

[arnaud.co...@webedia-group.com]

Hi everyone,

I want to use packer & terraform in a CI environment to deploy projects on GCP.

The missing piece in my environment is the build status from packer : I don't want to update my infrastructure if my images are missing.

So I went on a quest to find the best way to get the build status from packer...

• I found some resource on the issue tracker, where it is stated that packer's exit code does not reflects the build status (see here)
  
• Since the logs are not structured, it does not seem reliable to parse them for the "build finished" statement (especially if there are parallel builds).
  
• I could use gcloud directly to check if the image exists, but it feels like something is missing to packer.
  Besides, my image names are computed with packer variables, which means I should recompute them externally, duplicating information.

None of these solution seem reliable to me, and I feel like this is the kind of information that should be available from packer directly.

Do you know a better way than these ?

Yours,

Arnaud

Ya I use the manifest for post validation and accounting for the AMIs I create as well.
