Windows Guest Support for Generic Bucket (and others too?)

tknerr commented 9 years ago

Not sure if this is a generic bucket specific issue or a general one.

Since I want caching by default I put this in my global ~/.vagrant.d/Vagrantfile:

Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|

  # enable cachier globally
  if Vagrant.has_plugin?("vagrant-cachier")
    config.cache.scope = :box

    # cache bussers for test-kitchen
    config.cache.enable :generic, {
      "busser" => { cache_dir: "/tmp/busser/gems" }
    }
  end
end

However, when I boot up a Windows VM, e.g.like so...

Vagrant.configure(2) do |config|
  config.vm.box = "tknerr/eval-win7x64-enterprise"
  config.vm.provider "virtualbox" do |vbox|
    vbox.gui = true
  end
end

...I get this error:

Vagrant assumes that this means the command failed!

Currently adding this to my windows box Vagrantfiles to disable the generic bucket:

...
  # disable the generic cache
  config.cache.enable :generic, {}
...

Actually it would be great if I could determine whether this vagrant execution is part of a test-kitchen run in the global Vagrantfile, so taht I enable the "busser" generic cache dir only in this case...

Disabling a specific bucket will be implemented at some point.

As per improving windows guests support, I'm :+1: on it but I personally don't have a need for that =/ If you or someone else is able to put up a PR I'd me more than happy to review it / bring it in!

Stumbled upon this again. Bummer that the generic cache bucket does not work with windows guests :-/

Hey, sorry for the silence here but this project is looking for maintainers :sweat_smile:

As per https://github.com/fgrehm/vagrant-cachier/issues/193, I've added the ignored label and will close this issue. Thanks for the interest in the project and LMK if you want to step up and take ownership of this project on that other issue :wave:
