Joban 2ff129cd34 fix(example): make UUIDv4 example RFC compliant ... # Description The output of the example on [uuidv4 Function](https://developer.hashicorp.com/packer/docs/templates/hcl_templates/functions/uuid/uuidv4) is not a valid RFC compliant UUIDv4. It indicates the usage of the `uuidv4()` function and outputs `b5ee72a3-54dd-c4b8-551c-4bdc0204cedb` which is not a valid UUIDv4. I've corrected the example to output a UUIDv4 conforming to the RFC as such `xxxxxxxx-xxxx-4xxx-Nxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx`, where: - The 13th character is always `4` (indicating version 4). - The 17th character must be either `8`, `9`, `a`, or `b` (indicating the first character of the variant). # Changes ```diff - b5ee72a3-54dd-c4b8-551c-4bdc0204cedb + 9fc99a70-7cd5-482d-bb2b-03af016e4e94 ``` Replaces the old UUID output with a valid RFC compliant UUIDv4. # References - [RFC 4122](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc4122) - [RFC 9562](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc9562) # Misc. To make sure this wasn't an issue with the `uuidv4()` function within Hashicorp's [packer](https://github.com/hashicorp/packer) I tested the function in the following way: ### Command executed: ```ps > .\packer.exe inspect .\uuid.pkr.hcl ``` ### Contents of the _uuid.pkr.hcl_ file: ```hcl locals { uuid_0 = uuidv4() uuid_1 = uuidv4() uuid_2 = uuidv4() uuid_3 = uuidv4() uuid_4 = uuidv4() uuid_5 = uuidv4() uuid_6 = uuidv4() uuid_7 = uuidv4() uuid_8 = uuidv4() uuid_9 = uuidv4() } ``` ### Output: ```ps Packer Inspect: HCL2 mode > input-variables: > local-variables: local.uuid_0: "90877db8-5519-46ea-ae15-7dfb92594064" local.uuid_1: "fe6a4649-97d9-4686-b981-3295175f941a" local.uuid_2: "9944d83d-dab2-4cfb-a1db-572d19271e7a" local.uuid_3: "547cddb7-c979-4b87-90d0-2bd9b68858b5" local.uuid_4: "c13dc47a-552c-4dfb-a75d-2f63bb248b41" local.uuid_5: "3db1ce29-bdde-4642-b010-1a41d47c22a3" local.uuid_6: "4a020460-edd1-471d-b8a2-5956c0c68257" local.uuid_7: "1845bf87-6908-4fc0-8f11-b5b4f36c60a7" local.uuid_8: "f5c7e552-b799-45f3-8172-46162eadfd89" local.uuid_9: "057c2eaf-6769-4a8d-90c8-775aec80496a" > builds: ```		1 year ago
