vagrant-chef-apply

This is now in Vagrant core: https://docs.vagrantup.com/v2/provisioning/chef_apply.html

A Vagrant plugin that adds chef-apply as a provider. This is useful when you want to do something that requires more than shell but do not want to write a full cookbook.

This plugin has been verified to work with the following Vagrant providers:

• VirtualBox (part of core)

It may work with other Vagrant providers but is not guaranteed to!

Installation

Ensure you have downloaded and installed Vagrant 1.1.x from the Vagrant downloads page.

Installation is performed in the prescribed manner for Vagrant 1.1 plugins.

Usage

The Chef-apply Vagrant plugin automatically hooks into the Vagrant provisioning middleware. You specify the path to your recipe file and have Chef 11 installed in your image. vagrant-omnibus is helpful for installing Chef

In recipe.rb

package "build-essential"

in Vagrantfile

Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
  config.vm.provision :chef_apply do |chef|
    chef.path = "recipe.rb"
  end
  ...
end
