Adrien Delorme	0f00709fb6	hcl2_upgrade: fix a case where the generated type is wrong when it encounters map[string]interface{} or []interface{} types, hcl2_upgrade now takes the 'most complex' entry from those in order to tell wether this is going to be a body `body {}` or an attribute `attribute = {}`. Before that the hcl2_upgrade command could be a bit random there. A way better ( but may be somewhat hard ) way to do this would be to use the actual plugins structs in order to generate the HCL2.	6 years ago
Adrien Delorme	5ba134ac5b	JSON to HCL2 (minimal best-effort) transpiler (#9659 ) hcl2_upgrade transforms a JSON build-file in a HCL2 build-file. This starts a validated Packer core and from that core we generate an HCL 'block' per plugin/configuration. So for a builder, a provisioner, a post-processor or a variable. The contents of each block is just transformed as is and basically all fields are HCL2-ified. A generated field can be valid in JSON but invalid on HCL2; for example JSON templating (in mapstructure) allows to set arrays of strings - like `x = ["a", "b"]` - with single strings - like `x="a"` -, HCL does not allow this. Since JSON does not make the distinction between variables and locals, everything will be a variable. So variables that use other variables will not work. hcl2_upgrade tries to transform go templating interpolation calls to HCL2 calls when possible, leaving the go templating calls like they are in case it cannot. Work: * transpiler * tests * update hcl v2 library so that output looks great. * update docs	6 years ago
