Description

--on-error=ask retry should only run the provisioner that errored when also specifying -debug. Currently it reruns all the provisioners in that build unless -debug isn't specified, then it only runs the one that failed.

Let me know if this is intended behavior and I will close.

Hi @MrMMorris,

I'm not sure I understand the reruns all the provisioners when combining both arguments; --debug will stop before executing every provisioner/step, letting you debug the state of a system in between two steps, while --on-error lets you decide which action to undertake in case of an error during the build, and rerun is not one of the supported actions AFAIK.
Would you be able to provide a template/log example to understand what issue you're running into?

Thanks!
