GitHub Action for running Packer commands.
Add the Action to your GitHub Workflow like so:
---
name: Packer
on:
push:
jobs:
packer:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
name: packer
steps:
- name: Checkout Repository
uses: actions/checkout@v2
# fix backwards incompatibilities in template
- name: Fix Template
uses: operatehappy/packer-github-actions@master
with:
command: fix
# validate templates
- name: Validate Template
uses: operatehappy/packer-github-actions@master
with:
command: validate
arguments: -syntax-only
target: artifacts.pkr.json packer.json
# build artifact
- name: Build Artifact
uses: operatehappy/packer-github-actions@master
with:
command: build
arguments: "-color=false -on-error=abort"
target: artifacts.pkr.json packer.json
# additional steps to process artifacts
Name | Description | Required | Default |
---|---|---|---|
command |
command to execute | yes | |
arguments |
arguments for command | no | |
target |
file(s) to target | yes | artifacts.pkr.json |
command
supports the following subset of Packer CLI commands:
- build to generate a set of artifacts from a template
- fix to find and correct backwards incompatible stanzas in a template
- validate to validate the syntax and configuration of a template
Other CLI commands (console
, inspect
and version
) are technically supported, but have limited utility in a GitHub Actions Workflow, due to their interactive nature.
arguments
supports all options available for the respective command
.
The arguments must be provided as a single string. Multiple arguments should be concatenated like so: "-color=false -on-error=abort"
target
supports a string consisting of one or more file paths:
# single file
target: artifacts.pkr.json
# multiple files, separated by whitespace
target: artifacts.pkr.json packer.json
The Action will iterate over each file and run each command
, separately.
- To enable debug logging, create a secret named
ACTIONS_STEP_DEBUG
with the valuetrue
. See here for more information.
