vars-file error about python-packer HOT 5 CLOSED

That would be great. I'm still working on integration tests so it's no
wonder there a couple of bugs. Also... I need to verify nothing is broken
on 0.8.2.

After a clean pip install of python-packer (which is pretty neat by the
by), I noticed that validating json would fail when using a var-file.
Packer is actually looking for -var-file, rather than -vars-file.

Options:

-syntax-only Only check syntax. Do not verify config of the template.
-except=foo,bar,baz Validate all builds other than these
-only=foo,bar,baz Validate only these builds
-var 'key=value' Variable for templates, can be used multiple times.
-var-file=path JSON file containing user variables.

I removed the Usage info and just copied the Options section from the
error. Below is my version of packer being used.

[prata@kusanagi packer]$ /opt/packer/packer version
Packer v0.7.5

Your version of Packer is out of date! The latest version
is 0.8.2. You can update by downloading from www.packer.io
[prata@kusanagi packer]$

Would you like me to submit a pull request for this? It's a pretty simple
change. Thanks!

I've submitted pull requests #4 and #5 that should fix the -var-file syntax. Please accept soon, really want to use this module! I've been using subprocess hideously up until now to achieve the same thing.

Merged.
