Packer (amazon-ebs) fails with error

[Pradeep Patra]

Hi all,

I am trying to use packer(amazon-ebs) for creating the AMI. The packer version I used is 1.0.2. I could able to run the below code from a simple shell script and it works perfectly. But when I run using "packer build" command it fails with the error " amazon-ebs: sudo: /usr/local/bin/aws: command not found" 

Can anyone help in this regard?

Regards

Pradeep

Hard to say when there is so little information. Add -on-error=ask flag to your packer build command line and rerun. When it fails it will pause and you can jump into the instance and troubleshoot.

hello

if you comment our the aws cli and dont' run any more steps I assume the box will be created fine

you are having a issue on how to install and use awscli

i would suggest spin a vm and get those commands a try until you can confirm they work

don't think is a packer issue

When I run all the commands in a shell script it works fine without any error in a separate VM. Only when I run from packer build it fails.

Most likely because you have a interactive shell etc.

worth to check the following

Looks like within your sudoers you are resetting your environment and setting a secure path, this is enabled by default

Defaults  env_reset

Defaults  secure_path

Under secure_path you may want to add the path to your aws cli command...
