Error on building packer softlayer on centos 7

[kumarsenthil]

Hi leonidlem/chulkilee/mitchellh,

I have been trying to build packer softlayer plugin on CentOS 7. I have followed below steps:

wget https://storage.googleapis.com/golang/go1.5.linux-amd64.tar.gz tar -C /usr/local -xzf go1.5.linux-amd64.tar.gz export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin mkdir work export GOPATH=$HOME/work cd work/ mkdir src bin pkg

Install Bazaar and Mercurial yum install bzr yum install mercurial

go get -u github.com/mitchellh/gox Next, clone this repository into $GOPATH/src/github.com/mitchellh/packer

cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/mitchellh git clone https://github.com/mitchellh/packer.git cd packer

[root@deskt packer]# make updatedeps

When running above command I am getting below error: ERROR: go get failed. Your git branch may have changed; you were on master (a55d2f1).

INFO: Currently on master (a55d2f1) [root@deskt packer]#

If I re run this above command it is working.

Then running next command. [root@deskt packer]# make

Can someone please help me to resolve this error?

[kumarsenthil]

Hey Can someone provide me steps to setup packer softlayer plugin?

[leonidlm]

Hey @kumarsenthil, thank you for reporting this.

Just to clarify, the issue you reported is related to a packer itself and not to the Softlayer builder. Based on the information you submitted the errors appear when you try to build the packer project.

I followed your steps on a Centos 7 vagrant box and I got the same error in the following test: TestProvision_waitForCommunicatorWithCancel.

The error seems to be related to go 1.5: https://github.com/mitchellh/packer/issues/2312

Running with go 1.4 solved the problem for me.

[kumarsenthil]

Hey @leonidlm Thanks for helping me.

As you said, I have tried by installing go 1.4 and followed steps I have mentioned above. But still I am getting error.

Please take a look on this error. And If you can please provide me the steps you have followed. I will try and let you know

Hi leonidlm, I am able to bring up the instance using packer softlayer plugin. When creating the AMI it is throwing "Failed to get proper HTTP response from SoftLayer API" error. Please help me to resolve this error.

[root@softlayer bin]# ./packer build sl.json softlayer output will be in this color.
