how to comment out parts of the packer configuration file?

[chris snow]

During development of my image, I would like to comment out parts of the json file so that I can switch off things like post-processors.

I've tried commenting out by adding an underscore "_post-processors", but that causes the validation to fail.

Any ideas?

The joys of JSON as a configuration facility.  I, too, have the same pain. JSON does not support comments. Unless packer runs a pre-processor on the file, it unfortunately doesn't support comments.
