Post-processor with Openstack builder not being executed (Packer + Foreman + OpenStack)

[Lorena Lobato]

Hello all,

You might have the answer to this. I have the following configuration:

• packer version 0.10.1
• Openstack builder
• Provisioners connecting to Foreman to register the temporary VM in a specific HG
• Puppet to get configuration of the temporary VM being created
• Rundeck that controls packer

I am not getting too many details because everything is working as expected but my surprise is with the post-processor. It seems that packer does not execute the command established inside. While the provisioners are registering correctly the VM in Foreman, the post-processor does not do anything. They only thing that it needs to do is un-register the VM in Foreman, hence I have to do it manually..

I do not get any error as you can see below:

I am asking because I am lost with this and I know that OS post-processor is quite new. Do you have any idea about what I am doing wrong ?

Thanks in advance

Cheers

Shell-local post-processor runs once per file in the artifact, the openstack builder have 0 files so it's not very useful. We want to change this but it haven't been done yet. For mor info see https://github.com/mitchellh/packer/issues/3671
