Hi Guys,

my provisioner is as following

 "provisioners": [
                {
                        "type": "file",
                        "source": "/root/test",
                        "destination": "/root",
                        "only": ["vmware-iso"]
                },
                {
                         "type": "shell",
                         "scripts": [
                         "/root/test/install.sh"
                          ]
                },
                {
                        "type": "shell",
                        "inline": ["sleep 1000"],
                        "only": ["vmware-iso"]
                }
                ]

I copy few files and then run a script that i already copied. Any suggestions would be great here on what is going wrong.

Thank You

Hello,

first I would suggest run a dos2unix and check for any extra character, in case are some weird windows character.

2nd, on the host mahcine, this file exist? /root/test/install.sh since my understanding is packer will copy /root/test/install.sh as /tmp/script.sh and run this /tmp/script.sh

3rd , from this error:

#!/bin/sh: bad interpreter: Permission denied

What os is the vm? /bin/sh is there?

Hello,

Yes the file(/root/test/install.sh) is available and its a rhel-5.7 vm. I got rid in the error after add the following line in my template.

     {
                        "execute_command": "echo 'Hello' | {{.Vars}} sudo -S -E bash '{{.Path}}'",
                        "type": "shell",
                         "scripts": [
                         "/root/ipfm/install.sh"
                          ]
                },
Documentation on packer.io says "chmod +x {{ .Path }}; {{ .Vars }} {{ .Path }}" is present by default. Might be a typo in the documentation.
