`vmware-iso`: Error detecting host IP: Could not find `vmnetdhcp` conf file:` /Library/Preferences/VMware Fusion/vmnet0/dhcpd.conf` #85

Overview of the Issue

I am trying to build a VM using bridged networking. I was previously using whatever the default was set to, and then changed to bridged to test something. When set to bridged, every build fails immediately with:

2022/08/08 09:51:37 packer-builder-vmware-iso plugin: Located networkmapper configuration file using Fusion6: /Library/Preferences/VMware Fusion/networking
2022/08/08 09:51:37 packer-builder-vmware-iso plugin: HostIP discovered device matching bridged: vmnet0

2022-08-08T09:51:37-07:00: ==> vmware-iso.srt_ubuntu20_small: Error detecting host IP: Could not find vmnetdhcp conf file: /Library/Preferences/VMware Fusion/vmnet0/dhcpd.conf

Reproduction Steps

I'm not exactly sure. All I've done is run a vmware-iso build a few times unsuccessfully, and then changed network to bridged and try to run it again.

Additional Context

logicbomb421 commented 2 years ago

More info:

This seems like something is possibly hard-coded to vmnet0 somewhere and is now out-of-date?

rbeede commented 1 year ago

vmnet0 is linked to the bridged adapter, but if you try to view it in the VMware Virtual Network Editor it will not appear unless you have admin privileges.

rbeede commented 1 year ago

I have a similar issue with vmware workstation 16.2.5 on Windows and packer 1.9.4.

Error detecting host IP: Unable to find host IP from devices [vmnet0], last error: No host declarations containing vmnet0 found

rbeede commented 1 year ago

Possibly related?

rbeede commented 1 year ago

I do have luck if I comment out # network = "bridged"

and use instead:

  vmx_data = {
    "ethernet0.connectionType" = "bridged"
  }
