Packer: Raw output

Created on 2 Oct 2020 · 4Comments · Source: hashicorp/packer

WHAT:
Please add support for raw output (without coloring), it'll be usefull for everyone who uses Packer as subprocess and grabs the output.

It can be flag like packer build --raw-output (...)
WHY:
this is example from reading text stream: b'\x1b[0;32m vsphere-clone:\x1b[0m\n'
At least add whitespace on the end so, people can grab log(streamline.split(' ')[1:-1]).
Thanks in advance!

Hey @wejdross, thanks for opening; I think the --machine-readable option should do just that ! Please tell us if there's anything to improve; I'll close this one in the meantime. 🙂
