1 year ago Hi @cwilson1776 this looks like a Packer plugin SDK crash when trying to obtain the ConfigSpec for the post-processor (internal call). Could you share a sample template maybe with the versions of the plugins being used please.

1 year ago I did not (explicitly) install any plugins -- however, the git repo I was using for my template (git clone https://github.com/rgl/windows-vagrant) appears to reference this plugin: windows-update 0.14.3 (github.com/rgl/windows-update, whose source is here: https://github.com/rgl/packer-plugin-windows-update)
I did slightly modify the template in that repository, so here's the version I was using...

Community Note
Overview of the Issue
Packer crash while building vagrant image.
Running packer inside a VMware virtual machine (Debian 11), bare-metal host is Windows 11. Nested virtualization is enabled. Using a slightly modified version of https://github.com/rgl/windows-vagrant to install win11-uefi, with virtualbox as the vagrant virtualization provider.
Reproduction Steps
Have only seen the issue once, but...the crash log states "This is always indicative of a bug within Packer" so....
Packer version
Packer v1.8.7
Simplified Packer Template
git clone https://github.com/rgl/windows-vagrant cd windows-vagrant make build-windows-11-22h2-uefi-virtualbox
I've modified the windows-11-22h2-uefi/autounattend.xml file from rgl's upstream version, but the crash appears to during some built-in packer steps (e.g. after my target vm has already been exported to ovf and the vm deleted from virtualbox), so I'm don't think that matters.
