parameters

• template: required. the path to the packer template file.

• env_vars: optional. dict of variables to set in the environment.

• env_vars_from_files: optional. dict of vars and file paths to set in the environment.

• var_files: optional. the list of paths to external JSON variable file(s).

• vars: optional. dict of explicit packer variable key/value pairs.

• vars_from_files: optional. dict of vars and file paths to use as their value.

• force: optional. set to true to enable the force option during a packer build. default: false

• debug: optional. set to true to dump argument values and parsed output. may result in leaked credentials. default: false

the id of the first artifact produced will be used as the version, with the full artifact details in the output metadata

note: in an effort to prevent credentials leaking to logs, the full packer command line will not be printed on failure -- however, you should still mark any relevant variables as sensitive variables in the packer template to prevent packer from printing them in log output

the packer executable will have a working directory of the concourse input directory, so file paths can be relative to resources, or absolute paths
