Hey guys,
Need some packer help
Saichovsky
provisioner "shell" {
environment_vars = [
"AWS_SESSION_TOKEN={{user `AWS_SESSION_TOKEN`}}",
"AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID={{user `AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID`}}",
"AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY={{user `AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY`}}",
"AWS_SECURITY_TOKEN={{user `AWS_SECURITY_TOKEN`}}"
]
script = "test_script.sh"
}
Saichovsky
Why won’t this work? I need to pass environment variables from my laptop’s CLI to the provisioner, so that they can be printed out by the test_script.sh script

But I’m getting this error message instead:
Error: Failed preparing provisioner-block "shell" ""
on jenkins-slave-ami.pkr.hcl line 87:
(source code not available)
render 'environment_vars': template: root:1:20: executing "root" at <user
