packer build returns 0 code on failure

[Dave Randall]

I'm running packer on a Windows Server box and invoking it with PowerShell. I want the script itself to throw an error if the packer build fails. However, when I get packer build to fail on purpose (e.g. by supplying incorrect AWS access keys) it still returns a 0 exit code as if it completed successfully.

Is there any way to get packer to return a non-zero exit code on failure?

I've reviewed the documentation but to no avail. The closest thing was to add a -on-error=abort option, but that didn't make an impact.

Cheers,

Dave

can you print the exit code as soon as packer finish?

in bash is echo $?

in cmd i think is echo %exitcode% or someting

From what I have seen i think in powershell you need to evaluate the exit code and make a break/exit if you want that due a non-zero exit code.
