[Azure/packer-azure] packer-azure build hangs while deleting the temp resource groups for centos

[deepak-shrivastava]

I am opening this issue in continuation with my previous issue i.e https://github.com/Azure/packer-azure/issues/255
I have a couple of questions here:

1. As per the solution provided, i saw the examples and tried to execute the centos.json from the azure-packer examples. I am getting the following error while building

Error initializing core: 1 error(s) occurred:
 required variable not set: ssh_pass

My template is as follows:-

{
  "variables": {
    "ssh_user": "centos",
    "ssh_pass": null
  },
  "builders": [{
        "type": "azure-arm",
        "client_id": "...",
        "client_secret": "...",
        "resource_group_name": "...",
        "storage_account": "...",
        "subscription_id": "...",
        "tenant_id": "...",
        "capture_container_name": "packercentoscontainer",
        "capture_name_prefix": "prefixcentos",
        "image_publisher": "OpenLogic",
        "os_type" : "Linux",
        "image_offer": "CentOS",
        "image_sku": "7.1",
        "image_version": "latest",
        "location": "East Asia",
        "ssh_pty" : "true",
        "ssh_username": "{{user `ssh_user`}}",
        "ssh_password": "{{user `ssh_pass`}}"
        }
      ],
  "provisioners": [{
    "execute_command": "echo '{{user `ssh_pass`}}' | {{ .Vars }} sudo -S -E sh '{{ .Path }}'",
    "inline": [
      "yum update -y",
      "/usr/sbin/waagent -force -deprovision+user && export HISTSIZE=0 && sync"
    ],
    "inline_shebang": "/bin/sh -x",
    "type": "shell",
    "skip_clean": true
  }]
}

Can you please suggest what is required here?

Because of the above error, i omitted the Username and password from my template and was able to start the build. Below are the logs from packer

azure-arm output will be in this color.

Nothing happens post that.I had kept this build on for almost 2hours.Then I checked my azure account by logging into the same, and i can see the temp resource group still present in the account and is not deleted.

I am blocked coz of these issues. Can you please help?? What am i missing here?

1. You must supply ssh_pass variable exactly as it says in the error message i.e:
   packer build -var ssh_pass=<secret password> centos.json
