virtualbox_vm.node: exit status 1

[ChristianKniep]

Hey there,

I use Terraform v0.6.7 installed via brew and the latest provider on El Capitan. My terraform looks like this:

$ cat virtualbox.tf
resource "virtualbox_vm" "node" {
    count = 1
    name = "${format("node-%02d", count.index+1)}"

    image = "/Users/kniepbert/Downloads/ubuntu-15.04.tar.xz"
    cpus = 1
    memory = "512mib"

    network_adapter {
        type = "nat"
    }

    #network_adapter {
    #    type = "bridged"
    #    host_interface = "en0"
    #}
}

#output "IPAddr" {
#    # Get the IPv4 address of the bridged adapter (the 2nd one) on 'node-02'
#    value = "${element(virtualbox_vm.node.*.network_adapter.1.ipv4_address, 1)}"
#}

I got this error:

$ terraform apply

Terraform does not automatically rollback in the face of errors.
Instead, your Terraform state file has been partially updated with
any resources that successfully completed. Please address the error
above and apply again to incrementally change your infrastructure.

Any idea?

@ChristianKniep Please run TF_LOG=1 terraform apply to print full error log.

My VBoxManage seems to lack an option. :/

2015/12/19 11:12:56 [DEBUG] terraform-provider-virtualbox: VBoxManage: error: Unknown option: --synthcpu
2015/12/19 11:12:56 [DEBUG] terraform-provider-virtualbox: pid-17250-resource_vm.go:215: [ERROR] Setup VM properties: exit status 1

I just updated to the latest version:

$ VBoxManage --version
5.0.12r104815

@ChristianKniep A little googling shows that 'synthcpu' option is not available in VBox 5.0 any more, and I was testing on 4.3.x, so this is the problem. github.com/ccll/go-virtualbox is the package to interact with VBox, you can make some quick hack to it, should be easy, and the patch is welcomed. :)
