vagrant-logs

VagrantLogs

This is a work in progress - and subject to additions and changes.

Objective

1. Print several log information ...
2. ...and / or upload them to a Gist.

Installation

Install the plugin:

$ vagrant plugin install vagrant-logs

Do not use this command in a directory with a Vagrantfile which requires the plugin. Vagrant does always include the Vagrantfile, and therefore will fail before installation because of the missing plugin. Just cd somewhere else and retry the command, maybe from your homedir?

Usage

Gist upload

Upload to Gist can be activated by setting environment variable GIST_UPLOAD, e.g.:

GIST_UPLOAD=true vagrant logs

GITHUB_TOKEN must also be set as an environment variable.

Vagrantfile

In your Vagrantfile:

Vagrant.require_plugin 'vagrant-logs'

Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
  # list of log files
  config.vagrant_logs.log_files = ['/var/log/*log']

  # number of lines to log
  config.vagrant_logs.lines = 5

  # list of locally checked out repositories for which the current revision should be logged
  config.vagrant_logs.repositories_to_check = ['~/Sites/easybib/cookbooks', '~/projects/ies/vagrant-logs']

  # list of locally available clients to check for their versions
  config.vagrant_logs.clients_to_check = ['vagrant', 'VBoxManage']
end

Developing and Testing

Make sure you are using a Bundler version which is compatible with Vagrant which comes from GitHub like defined here:

group :development do
  gem 'vagrant', git: 'https://github.com/mitchellh/vagrant.git'
end

Bundler version 1.10.6 works fine and can be installed like this:

gem install bundler -v '~> 1.10.6'

Then, when you want to test Bib Vagrant use:

bundle _1.10.6_ exec vagrant

Happy developing and testing.
