Expected Upload of ISO to vSphere but Doesn't when iso_url Used

[jeremycornett]

If you have only one URL for your intended ISO and if you do not use iso_urls and use iso_url instead, packer does not upload the ISO to the datastore and instead proceeds as normal with the boot, which then fails because there's no OS to install from the attached CD/DVD device.

I forgot to mention that the ISO is downloaded locally on the system running packer prior to packer being run, so the value in iso_url is a path to the iso locally on the file system.

me2. only runs the download when specifying iso_urls, not when iso_url is specified.

I'm behind a web proxy and the downloader didn't work. Worked when I downloaded it and used a path to the file locally.

same issue here with iso_url. logs show no attempt to download the iso defined. I will try and verify if iso_urls works for me today.

iso_urls does not work at the moment unless using packer 1.3.5
