Setting null value on optional resources
When filing a bug, please include the following headings if possible. Any example text in this template can be deleted.
Overview of the Issue
I am trying to set null values on optional fields ( org_arns) and I am getting an error saying that null cannot be set for this value. I am trying to set this to null due to the fact when testing our branches we do not want to send the ami to the org rather to a single account for validation and testing. Once that is complete we would then send it to the org where every account would receive it.
Reproduction Steps
set value ami_org_arns in variables file to default = null
Plugin and Packer version
From packer version 1.2.6/1.2.7
Operating system and Environment details
Rhel8, win2019
Log Fragments and crash.log files
Error: null value is not allowed: [{{} ami_org_arns} {{} {{{{} 78}} 0xc000127bc0}}]
Will there be anyone reviewing this? This is becoming more of a pain to deal with which is making me reconsider using Packer for my Orgs AMI process.
Still running into this. https://developer.hashicorp.com/packer/docs/templates/hcl_templates/variables#a-variable-value-must-be-known .. this tells me that if the arg is optional, i should be able to set it as null.
This shows as optional but I get the error above as It is not allowed!
also as a note i have updated to latest and greatest version of packer as well
