Hello, I have been following the instructions for Packer.io here:
I have not deviated from the directions that I know of. All of the example packer.io templates I have found have failed validation.
root@packer:~/packer# packer validate foo.json
Failed to parse template: Error parsing JSON: invalid character '"' after object key:value pair
At line 6, column 6 (offset 158):
5: "region": "NYC3"
6: "
^
Here is the code I used right from the sample (excluding my API key)
{
"builders": [{
"type": "digitalocean",
"api_token": "YOUR API TOKEN",
"region": "nyc3"
"size": "512mb"
"image": "ubuntu-14-04-x64"
}],
"provisioners": [{
"type": "shell",
"inline": [
"sleep 30",
"sudo apt-get update",
"sudo apt-get install -y apache2"
]
}]
}
Anyone have a working packer.io template I can try? Or know why I can not get past packer validation?
Regards, James
