Description
Overview of the Issue
hashicorp/packer#7314 closed hashicorp/packer#7234, for error message: Write 'yes' or 'no'.
I recently upgraded my packer version and started using the plugins and this "write yes or no" message appears endlessly in the packer log.
Adding --noSSLVerify to ovftool parameters resolves the endless, interactive prompts.
Reproduction Steps
- Set up vcenter with an ESXi host OR set up nginx/apache server with a self signed SSL Cert (reproduction only) the real issue is when a custom CA bundle is being used.
- Create a packer template that uses the vshpere post-processor and targets the above server
- Wait for packer to finish building the VM and upload to the vcenter endpoint
- Endless interactive prompt
Write 'yes' or 'no'will be displayed until the packer process is killed (Ctrl+C)
