Host: OS X Mavericks
Guest: Ubuntu 12.04

I'd like to be able to follow symlinks created in shared folders in my 
Linux guest.  However, it appears that I cannot.  Looking at this link 
there appears to be a workaround:

https://communities.vmware.com/message/2246525#2246525

In that post the suggestion is to set this in the vmx file:

*sharedFolder0.followSymlinks = "TRUE"*

So I tried that in my Vagrantfile config:

config.vm.provider "vmware_fusion" do |v|
  v.vmx["memsize"] = "620"
  v.vmx["numvcpus"] = "1"
*  v.vmx["sharedfolder0.followSymlinks"] = "TRUE"*
  v.gui = false
end

However when I do and then check the vmx, I see this (note casing and 
value):

sharedfolder0.*followsymlinks* = "*FALSE*"

Is this intended?  Is there a way that I can achieve the ability to follow 
symlinks?


As a broader question, I'm trying to share a source directory of Dart code 
such that I can edit in my host but run in the guest.  Unfortunately, 
Dart's dependency manager creates symlinks in order for the runtime to 
decipher dependencies.  Any suggestions on an alternative overall setup?  I 
use VIM and could just work 100% in the VM, but I'm trying to set something 
up that I can share with other devs and less technical people.

Thanks,
 Jesse
