Bug: Build 'vmware-iso' errored: Shutdown command has non-zero exit status.

[cjbirk]

• Operating system: OS X 10.12
• Packer version: 0.11.0 (from brew)
• Host platform: VMware
• Debug log output: Build 'vmware-iso' errored: Shutdown command has non-zero exit status.
• Packer template used: https://gist.github.com/cjbirk/db1ca4634e22e5acf023948925cf5452
• Steps to replicate: packer build -only vmware-iso rhel7.json
• Expected results: It works
• Actual results: It doesn't
• Error given: Build 'vmware-iso' errored: Shutdown command has non-zero exit status. More info in this gist: https://gist.github.com/cjbirk/6fba8b0899108279204c4462b53ae03c
• Temporary solution: Installed 0.10.2 binary which resolved the issue.

In packer 0.11.0, I tried building a vmware-iso only image for CentOS 7 and RHEL 7 (confirmed not working for both) - this non-zero exit status is all that I got despite the entire run being fine.

When I downgraded to 0.10.2, the run was perfectly fine (besides having to manually kill VMware Fusion): https://gist.github.com/cjbirk/83de0a50d811fbabb689f14876fe77b5

This showed up right after the 0.11.0 in my testing. It's now fixed in the master branch per #4041 I validated that the fix works as expected.

Thanks @trodemaster

Duplicates #4034

[rickard-von-essen]

It duplicates the issue reported in the #4034 (comment) on the PR which introduce this error. And is fixed by #4041

Confirmed I'm hitting this too. What's the quickest way to test PR #4041 if I have packer installed via brew?

Just found https://github.com/mitchellh/packer/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#setting-up-go-to-work-on-packer after some digging (README was misdirecting me :) ).

[Edit: confirmed #4041 fixes the issue for me]
