Builds finished but no artifacts were created error

[gabrielbdornas]

Hello @devopsjourney1,

I'm trying to follow along with your tutorial here and I have two problems. I think the first generates the second.

The first one was "deprecated configuration key iso_ckecksum_type" during the packer build windows_10.json command. So, I've opened the file and removed all iso_ckecksum_type. After that I've run packer build windows_10.json the building didn't complete as shown below:

Build 'virtualbox-iso' errored after 2 hours 29 minutes: Timeout waiting for SSH.

==> Wait completed after 2 hours 29 minutes

==> Some builds didn't complete successfully and had errors:
--> vmware-iso: Failed creating VMware driver: Unable to initialize any driver for this platform. The errors
from each driver are shown below. Please fix at least one driver
to continue:
* exec: "vmware": executable file not found in $PATH
* exec: "vmware": executable file not found in $PATH
* exec: "vmplayer": executable file not found in $PATH
* exec: "vmplayer": executable file not found in $PATH

--> virtualbox-iso: Timeout waiting for SSH.

==> Builds finished but no artifacts were created.

I tried another time but now, as suggested here I run packer fix windows_10.json > windows_10_new.json before packer build windows_10.json (removing the old file and renaming the new one), but still not working.

Obs.: I'm using ubuntu 20.04 and packer 1.7.8

After a I run the following commands:

"packer fix myfile.json > myfile-fixed.json"

"packer validate myfile-fixed.json"

issue resolved
