Sorry if this was solved somewhere else, but I seem to be unable to get this to work.
When I add the Value:
"sha256:{$checksum}"
I get the right sha256 in the Checksum dropdowns, but the Checksum shows up as:
{$checksum}
Here is my Post-Processor's setup:
"post-processors": [
[
{
"output": "builds/{{.Provider}}/{{ user `distro` }}-{{ user `distro_version` }}-{{ user `cm` }}-{{ user `vm_type` }}-{{ user `version` }}.box",
"vagrantfile_template": "tpl/vagrantfile-{{ user `distro` }}{{ user `short_distro_version` }}-{{ user `vm_type` }}.tpl",
"type": "vagrant"
},
{
"access_token": "{{ user `vagrant_cloud_token` }}",
"box_tag": "{{ user `box_tag` }}",
"no_direct_upload": true,
"type": "vagrant-cloud",
"version": "{{ user `version` }}",
"box_checksum": "sha256:{$checksum}"
},
{
"type": "manifest",
"output": "dist/{{ user `distro` }}-{{ user `distro_version` }}-{{ user `cm` }}-{{ user `vm_type` }}-{{ user `version` }}-manifest.json",
"strip_path": false
}
]
],
Maybe I am missing whether or not I need to run the Checksum Post-Processor before hand? When I tried doing so it kept erroring out that it expected the .box artifact.
Can someone update the documentation to clarify if this value needs to be a variable of some sort or expects input from a previous post-processor? I am currently not sure how you can know the value of the hash in this setup before you run packer.
To be clear, this variable is acting as a function that (is/is not) calculating the checksums, and then adding that to the metadata.json via the vagrant-cloud api?

Yeah, this was how I got around it, IIRC:
packer build <dump the box to disk>
packer build <publish the box leveraging checksum post-processor>
There are ways to maker Packer do it all in a single pass but everything I came up with was super hacky.

Description
Would be great if this plugin supported the recently-ish added support for provider checksums.
Use Case(s)
I am trying to leverage the
vagrant-cloud
post-processor as part of my setup and find it a bit frustrating to perform extra steps for box upload (attaching the checksum info).Potential configuration
