Yes, that would be a Vagrant question. You could, however, have Vagrant invoke a wrapper script that sets the desired variable instead of invoking "puppet apply" directly. I'm not sure how that differs from what you tried but it should work. Something like this: #!/bin/bash export http_proxy=my.proxy puppet apply "$@" > > Setting the env variable in a bash script invoked via the puppet manifest > proved to be useless, as it doesn't have any scope OUTSIDE the bash script. > Indeed not.

Puppet is a good example, and likely Vagrant is, too. Such programs normally have a way to configure the environment for each command along with the command itself, and they usually provide little or nothing else in those environments. In particular, they normally do not pass on their own environment to commands. John -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
