Hey @azzeddinefaik, thanks for reporting, this error [ERR] Cache.Lock error: rpc: can't find service Cache.Lock tells me the builder is trying to use a cache lock that has recently been deprecated. It also looks like you are using the https://github.com/jetbrains-infra/packer-builder-vsphere builder which will soon be incorporated into packer as of this issue #7168

Here are some options I can think of to no be blocked by this :

• use packer 1.3.5 & wait for [proposal] merge vSphere builder from 'jetbrains-infra/packer-builder-vsphere' #7168 to happen, which should take a while IMO, some people still need to sign the CLA etc.
• do a pull request to the vsphere builder to update it to the new breaking changes; the changes are documented in this PR: https://github.com/hashicorp/packer/pull/7583/files, ( this would give [proposal] merge vSphere builder from 'jetbrains-infra/packer-builder-vsphere' #7168 a really nice head start )

Closing this since it appears the upstream incompatibility was resolved.
