Blocks of type "efi_config" are not expected here.

Overview of the Issue

When using the new efi_config command, getting the error "Blocks of type "efi_config" are not expected here."

I suspect this might be an ID10T issue as it's an "object" and not an "array of objects".

Reproduction Steps

  // EFI Config
  efi_config {
    efi_storage_pool = "${var.vm_storage_pool}"
    pre_enrolled_keys = true
    efi_type = "4m"
  }

Your config example works for me:tm:

This is still related to #119

That's the problematic line in your config:

source "proxmox" "ubuntu-server-jammy" {

You should use proxmox-iso or proxmox-clone to specify the desired builder. If you use just proxmox, the plugin version built into Packer will be used (which doesn't have efi support, yet).

I think the following line should be removed from Packer:
https://github.com/hashicorp/packer/blob/11e71729f187bad76d28f1701cf2c56e7b912c0f/command/vendored_plugins.go#L117
I don't know why it's still there, maybe for compatibility-reasons?

@nywilken should the mentioned line be removed from Packer, or should this plugin register a proxmox builder again? This was dropped in #120

The alias was introduced when the builder was split:
hashicorp/packer#9626 (comment)
hashicorp/packer@a140c13

So I guess we should add proxmox again.

Good catch!

I misunderstood the docs when I read it! All working as expected now.

Appreciate it!
