Packer inspec provisioner running additional steps and failing while creating AWS AMI

Packer
1

Hi Team,
I am using packer 1.9.1 and using inspec provisioner to create AWS AMI.
All the inspec rules that i have locally get executed without any issues.
However i see additional rules below are getting executed and it fails at this point.
I do not have any tests that check for “/etc/machine-id” etc.

Yes, me too facing the similar error with all flavors of OS and looking for the fix

The actual error was because “ssh_pty” option was set to true, it shouldve been false. It was returning “\r” error.
