Common Config

Parameters common to all provisioners:

• pause_before (duration) - Sleep for duration before execution.

• max_retries (int) - Max times the provisioner will retry in case of failure. Defaults to zero (0). Zero means an error will not be retried.

• only (array of string) - Only run the provisioner for listed builder(s) by name.

• override (object) - Override the builder with different settings for a specific builder, eg :

  In HCL2:

  hclCopy

  source "null" "example1" {
    communicator = "none"
  }
  
  source "null" "example2" {
    communicator = "none"
  }
  
  build {
    sources = ["source.null.example1", "source.null.example2"]
    provisioner "shell-local" {
      inline = ["echo not overridden"]
      override = {
        example1 = {
          inline = ["echo yes overridden"]
        }
      }
    }
  }
  

  In JSON:

  jsonCopy

  {
    "builders": [
      {
        "type": "null",
        "name": "example1",
        "communicator": "none"
      },
      {
        "type": "null",
        "name": "example2",
        "communicator": "none"
      }
    ],
    "provisioners": [
      {
        "type": "shell-local",
        "inline": ["echo not overridden"],
        "override": {
          "example1": {
            "inline": ["echo yes overridden"]
          }
        }
      }
    ]
  }
  

• timeout (duration) - If the provisioner takes more than for example 1h10m1s or 10m to finish, the provisioner will timeout and fail.
