Working with Packer Plug-in on Windows

[İlkay Şebnem Sezenoğlu]

Hi,

I am new about Jenkins and also DevOps world, and I want to bring up a
virtualbox machine from ovf file with using Packer plugin on Jenkins.

Here are the my questions:

1. Should I select the packer from post-build actions?
2. Are there another settings which have to be adapted in Jenkins
configurations? (For example, setting a PATH etc.)
3. How to see ovf file which located at local folder in PC?
4. Is there another required plugin(s) for working with Packer tool?

If there is an example for this purpose, I will be very happy if you share
with me.

Regards,
Seb

Hi Again,


Finally I found the Packer settings in Global Tool Configuration. But I
cannot still run the packer command. I can open the ovf file when packer is
run on PowerShell, but I am not sure how to implement the same
configuration in Jenkins :(
