EoL attribute is set to empty string

[srinadhbh]

Hello All

I have a requirement to set the "End of life date" to T+90 days. I have tried using the below options but I dont see any value set during the image version creation.

In line expression:

PACKER_LOG=1 packer build -var "azure_client_id=***" -var "azure_client_secret=***" -var "azure_subscription_id=***" -var "git_token=" -var "gallery_name=goldenimage_gallery" -var "resource_group=****" -var "subscription=***" -var "image_name=az-img-rhel8-gen1" -var "vm_size=Standard_D2_v4" -var "image_version=1.0.0" -var "virtual_network_name=HUB-USEast" -var "virtual_network_resource_group_name=RG-NetworkHUB-EastUS" -var "virtual_network_subnet_name=Internal-App" -var "image_sku=8-LVM" -var shared_gallery_image_version_end_of_life_date=$(date -d "+3 months" --utc +"%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ") ./RHEL8/RHEL8.json

Using a variable:

#!/bin/bash

expiry_date=$(date -d “+3 months” --utc +“%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ”)

echo “Expiry Date: $expiry_date”

PACKER_LOG=1 packer build -var “azure_client_id=" -var "azure_client_secret=” -var “azure_subscription_id=" -var “git_token=” -var “gallery_name=goldenimage_gallery” -var "resource_group=********" -var "subscription=” -var “image_name=az-img-rhel8-gen1” -var “vm_size=Standard_D2_v4” -var “image_version=1.0.0” -var “virtual_network_name=HUB-USEast” -var “virtual_network_resource_group_name=RG-EastUS” -var “virtual_network_subnet_name=Internal-App” -var “image_sku=8-LVM” -var “shared_gallery_image_version_end_of_life_date=$expiry_date” ./RHEL8/RHEL8.json

Hi @srinadhbh,

With the command-line only it's hard to understand if there's a bug with the attribute, with the variable, or if it's a usage problem. Have you used the variable to set the value of the attribute in the template?

Would you mind sharing your template so we can take a look?

Thanks

I am closing the issue as I found a typo in json template.
