Using file and shell provisioner together in packer fails with " No such file or directory"

[Bubunia Patra]

Hi all,

I want to run a script with argument like test.sh <test.properties> when packer gets executed. 

I am having problem uploading the script file from the current path to the remote ec2 instance.

"variables": {

"scriptdir" : "/home/centos"

}

"provisioners": [

{ "type": "shell", "execute_command": "{{.Vars}} sudo -E -S bash '{{.Path}}'", "scripts": [ "scripts/test.sh" ], "remote_path" : "/home/centos/test.sh" }, { "type": "file", "source": "{{user `scriptdir`}}", "destination": "/home/centos/test.properties" } ] }

Error: /home/centos/test.properties: No such file or directory 

Can anyone please help me in this regard?

Regards

Pradeep

Sorry I did a typo in this example to provide the correct scriptdir with /home/centos/test properties but I got the same error(no such file or directory). Some how the uploading the files to packer instance is not happening. Need help.

Can you correct the example and provide the exact error message you get?
