Hello,

My goal is getting checsum of box file, created by virtualbox-iso builder. I think there are two ways:

1. Using checksum post-processor. They give me checksums for disks, but not for entire box file.
2. Using shell-local post-processor. But this don't work for me, because I use WIndows, and this bug is dissapointed me.

Possible there have another solution for my task? I will be very apprecated for any help.

Renat.

Since you write "but not for [the] entire box file" I assume you are using the vagrant post-processor. I think you just missed that you need to have the checksum post-processor in a sequence after the vagrant post-processor.

{
  "post-processors": [
    [
      {
        "type": "vagrant",
        "keep_input_artifact": false
      },
      {
        "type": "checksum",
      }
    ]
  ]
}

Rickard, yes, I'm using vagrant post-processor, and with checksum post-ropessor

  "post-processors": [
    {
      "type": "vagrant",
      "output": "win7.box",

      "keep_input_artifact": false
    },
    {
      "type": "checksum",
      "checksum_types": ["sha1"],
      "output": "boxes/win7-sha1.txt"
    }

But after build boxes/win7-sha1.txt contain next line:

3d1507efb6e1d2c21074ea26fc8e86a27e8d38a5    win7.ovf

I want to get win7.box checksum, not only sum of win7.ovf

Hello

post-processor run in parallel, so you need the double [ [ a , b ] ] to force them be in sequence.
