Retrieve build IP address during build for use by provisioner

[lbonilla68]

Is there a way to programatically retrieve the IP address that was assigned by DHCP to the build so that I can pass it to a provisioner?

FYI the only way I was able to do this was by enabling logging in Packer and grep that file so I can pass the IP to Ansible.

"provisioners": [ { "type": "shell-local", "inline": [ "export BUILD_IP=\"$(grep -m 1 -o '[0-9]\\{1,3\\}\\.[0-9]\\{1,3\\}\\.[0-9]\\{1,3\\}\\.[0-9]\\{1,3\\}' {{ userpacker_log_path }})\"", "sed -i '/\\[tag_Environment_packer_windows]/a '$BUILD_IP /tmp/inventory/hosts", "ansible-playbook --limit tag_Environment_packer_windows -i /tmp/inventory ansible_playbook.yml ] }
