AWS AMI Build Fails With Permission denied

Packer
1

Hello,

I am very new to puppet/packer and CI/CD.

My packerfile.json looks like:

    {
    "variables": {
    "aws_access_key": "",
    "aws_secret_key": "",
    "build_number": "",
    "version": ""
    },
    "builders": [{
    "name":"base",
    "type": "amazon-ebs",
    "communicator":"ssh",
    "ssh_pty":"true",
    "access_key": "{{user `aws_access_key`}}",
    "secret_key": "{{user `aws_secret_key`}}",
    "region": "eu-west-1",
    "source_ami_filter": {
    "filters": {
        "virtualization-type": "hvm",
        "name": "centos-base *",
        "root-device-type": "ebs"
    },
    "owners": ["MY_AWS_ACCOUNT"],
    "most_recent": true
    },
    "instance_type": "t2.small",
    "ssh_username": "centos",
    "ami_users" : [ "MY_AWS_ACCOUNT" ],
    "vpc_id": "MY_VPC",
    "subnet_id" : "MY_SUBNET",
    "ami_name": "AMI_NAME {{user `build_number`}}"
    }
    ],
"provisioners": [
    {
    "type": "file",
    "source": "service_files/",
    "destination": "/tmp/"
    },
    {
    "type": "puppet-masterless",
    "manifest_file": "base.pp",
    "module_paths": "./modules",
    "puppet_bin_dir": "/opt/puppetlabs/bin",
    "facter": {
        "build": "{{user `version`}}-{{user `build_number`}}.el7.centos"
    }
    }
    ]
    }

And I even emptied my base.pp to look like:
Yumrepo <| |> -> Package <| |> -> Service <| |>

But my packer build (packer build -var 'build_number=X' -var 'version=X' packerfile.jso) still fails with the error:

==> Some builds didn't complete successfully and had errors:
--> centos-base: Error uploading modules: scp: /tmp/packer-puppet-masterless/module-0/codedeploy/.git/objects/pack/pack-77c4bbc91249292fb09b77b7e8eb9746b9ca8503.idx: Permission denied

==> Builds finished but no artifacts were created.

I have tried different versions of packer, different versions of puppet, and with librarian-puppet install each time to ensure all modules required get installed but the error is still happening.

Any ideas?

Thank you.

Could you check access to your source files?
In addition packer supports the -debug flag which helps to diag build environment.
