The lib name for the common components for writing packer_test suites was not clear, and did not follow the convention established in Packer core and plugins. Therefore this commit does two things: first the lib is renamed into common as to follow this convention, and clearly document which components are common to all tests. Also checkers are placed in a subpackage of common, common/check, so that it is clearer what is meant to be used as checks for a command's execution status after it's been run, as part of Assert. |

Scaffolding Plugins
Installation
Using pre-built releases
Using the packer init command
Starting from version 1.7, Packer supports a new packer init command allowing
automatic installation of Packer plugins. Read the
Packer documentation for more information.
To install this plugin, copy and paste this code into your Packer configuration .
Then, run packer init.
packer {
required_plugins {
name = {
version = ">= 0.0.1"
source = "github.com/hashicorp/name"
}
}
}
Manual installation
You can find pre-built binary releases of the plugin here. Once you have downloaded the latest archive corresponding to your target OS, uncompress it to retrieve the plugin binary file corresponding to your platform. To install the plugin, please follow the Packer documentation on installing a plugin.
From Source
If you prefer to build the plugin from its source code, clone the GitHub
repository locally and run the command go build from the root
directory. Upon successful compilation, a packer-plugin-name plugin
binary file can be found in the root directory.
To install the compiled plugin, please follow the official Packer documentation
on installing a plugin.
