remote-exec provisioner: Exporting parameters to Shell Scripts

[Jaskaran Singh]

Hi,

I am using the file provisioner to upload shell scripts to a AWS ubuntu machine, and then using the remote-exec provisioner  to run the scripts.

Now i need to pass parameters from the remote-exec inline provisioner to the shell scripts.

 
As per the documentation, args can be sent as below:
resource "aws_instance" "web" 

{

 provisioner "file" { source = "script.sh" destination = "/tmp/script.sh" } 

 provisioner "remote-exec" { inline = [ "chmod +x /tmp/script.sh", "/tmp/script.sh args" ] } 

}

Is there any other way to pass parameters? Can i 'export' parameters in the  remote-exec inline provisioner as shown below:

{.... 

 provisioner "file" { source = "script.sh" destination = "/tmp/script.sh" } 

 provisioner "remote-exec" { 

inline = [ 

"export data=xyz",

"chmod +x /tmp/script.sh", 

"/tmp/script.sh" 

] 

} 

}

The exported parameters are not available when my scripts are executed. (ie the shell scripts do not find the exported environment parameters)

Please help.

Thanks

Jaskaran

Could you try something like

DEBUG=true. /script_name

Thanks Rahul

The debug option will be helpful.
