proxmox-clone: "task_timeout is not expected here"

[ryapric]

Overview of the Issue

According to the release commit for v1.0.2, proxmox-clone should support task_timeout as a build argument. However, Packer complains that it does not expect the argument.

Reproduction Steps

Given a file main.pkr.hcl:

packer {
  required_plugins {
    proxmox = {
      version = ">= 1.0.2"
      source  = "github.com/hashicorp/proxmox"
    }
  }
}

source "proxmox-clone" "main" {
  clone_vm     = "some_vm_template"
  node         = "some_node"
  password     = "some_password"
  proxmox_url  = "some_proxmox_url"
  task_timeout = "10m"
  username     = "some_username"
}

build {
  sources = ["source.proxmox-clone.main"]
}

Run packer init . && packer validate ., and observe the following error:

Error: Unsupported argument

  on main.pkr.hcl line 15:
  (source code not available)

An argument named "task_timeout" is not expected here.

Hi releases of the proxmox builders prior to v1.1.0, which was released today, were incorrectly registered as proxmox-promox-iso and proxmox-proxmox-clone. I suspect that this bug has to do with the the embedded version of the Proxmox being used over any externally installed version of the plugin.

You are encouraged to upgrade any locally installed version of this plugin to v1.1.0 and try again if you are still running into issues.

Refer to #119 for more details on the incorrectly registered builders.

You can use the Packer init command to install the plugin by adding the following block to your template.

packer {
  required_plugins {
     proxmox = {  
       version = ">= 1.1.0"
      source  = "github.com/hashicorp/proxmox"
    }
  }
}
