vmware-iso build failing due to missing network VMware Fusion network config.

[Steven Stratis]

Packer version: Packer v1.3.3 Host Platform: MacOS Mojave 10.14.2 (18C54) Packer Script example: https://gist.github.com/spstratis/886e341333e37885a784d4bb17c5e178 Packer Debug Log: https://gist.github.com/spstratis/c4ba032437b36d94f1fafcd0efcd4f49 Hello, I'm trying to make a really simple vmware-iso that has ubuntu installed just to test out the packer build process for it. When ever I attempt to build it, it fails due to the networking folder for VMWare Fusion not being found. ==> vmware-iso: Could not find networking conf file: /Library/Preferences/VMware Fusion/networking I installed VMWare Fusion 11 prior to attempting to run packer, and made sure to close out the app and reopen it again just for good measure. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

I have that file.

Can you open Fusion, create a VM, confirm all works?

the new security model of MacOS may require you need to approve kernel extensions and other stuff.
