Is there a way to skip on errors for provisioners?

[Alex Walender]

Hi there,

is there a way to skip provisioner tasks when they fail? Right now the whole build aborts when a provisioner fails.

Packer will stop on exit code.

So you can end your scripts with exit 0 and should work

Yeah, this is what I thought, however:

Imagine the following ansible playbook:

---

  - hosts: all

    tasks:

      - include: ansible_playbooks/tester2017-07-25-14-07-45test.yaml

        ignore_errors: yes

      - include: ansible_playbooks/admin2017-07-31-14-28-38test.yaml

        ignore_errors: yes

      - include: ansible_playbooks/admin2017-08-01-15-06-39test.yaml

        ignore_errors: yes

I am skipping faulty playbooks with this. This works as planned when using ansible-playbook alone. The Exit Code is 0. (checked with echo $?).

However, packer still aborts on the first error. I have no experience in golang so I am not able to find our in the source, why this is treated as an error exit.
