generic/opensuse15: Sharing folders with VMware Workstation on Windows fails #233

Closed vohi closed 2 years ago

vohi commented 2 years ago

Bringing up a vagrant machine using the generic/opensuse15 box with standard shared folders fails with

==> opensuse15: Enabling and configuring shared folders...
An error occurred while executing `vmrun`, a utility for controlling
VMware machines. The command and output are below:

Command: ["enableSharedFolders", "c:\\Users\\...\\generic-opensuse15-vmware.vmx", {:notify=>[:stdout, :stderr]}]

Stdout: Error: There was an error mounting the Shared Folders file system inside the guest operating system

Stderr:

The same works with the generic/ubuntu2004 box, it seems that the VMware tools in the OpenSUSE 15 box are out of date.

The provider used here is VMware Workstation 16 Player, with the vagrant-vmware-desktop plugin.

@vohi looks like the OpenSUSE box is using the OS package, and not building the tools from source. So it appears the OpenSUSE open-vm-tools package is either out of date, not being setup correctly, or requires additional packages to work out of the box. If you figure out how to fix this, please submit a PR with the fix. The file you need to change is scripts/opensuse15/vmware.sh file.
