GitHub Action
Setup Packer
Set up and cache the Packer CLI.
This action aims to provide an OS-neutral interface. And will not add features that only work on one operating system or manipulate the Packer CLI itself.
Currently, the semantic versioning style does not support to specify the version of the packer itself. If you want to use a version other than the latest one, be sure to specify the exact version.
name: Packer
on:
- pull_request
- push
jobs:
build:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- name: Checkout tree
uses: actions/checkout@v4
- name: Use latest Packer
uses: hashicorp-contrib/setup-packer@v3
# or
- name: Use latest Packer
uses: hashicorp-contrib/setup-packer@v3
with:
packer-version: 1.6.5
- name: Build image from template
run: packer build TEMPLATEThere is a point that is particularly easy to misunderstand. It's where you specify the version of the action itself.
- name: Use latest Packer
uses: hashicorp-contrib/setup-packer@v3
# ^^^We recommend that you include the version of the action. We adhere to
semantic versioning, it's safe to use the major version
(v2) in your workflow. If you use the master branch, this could break your
workflow when we publish a breaking update and increase the major version.
steps:
# Reference the major version of a release (most recommended)
- uses: hashicorp-contrib/setup-packer@v3
# Reference a specific commit (most strict)
- uses: hashicorp-contrib/setup-packer@792b061
# Reference a semver version of a release (not recommended)
- uses: hashicorp-contrib/[email protected]
# Reference a branch (most dangerous)
