"Bad exit status" but no error message - what's failing?

I want to build a custom AMI using packer. Ansible provisioner succeeds but after then there is a bad status code, see log.

There is no AMI generated. I'm wondering what's failing here?

This was a bug in Packer Amazon plugin:

Fixed it by updating to latest version (1.2.5):

packer {
  required_plugins {
    amazon = {
      version = "~> 1.2.5"
      source  = "github.com/hashicorp/amazon"
    }
    ansible = {
      version = "~> 1.0.4"
      source  = "github.com/hashicorp/ansible"
    }
  }
}

packer init -upgrade aws-build-agent.pkr.hcl
