Main issue I found: https://github.com/mitchellh/vagrant/issues/1867 .
Trying to
skim the code + read issues, it seems that the problem is that the chosen
provider
isn't guaranteed to be known yet when the Vagrantfile is being parsed,
which means
that parsing the argument list yourself is likely going to be the main
"solution" for some
time as real support might require a non-trivial rewrite.
For what it's worth, here's what I'm using. This is literally the first
Ruby I've
ever written, so if someone could improve it to search the entire arg array
instead
of assuming provider is the first option given that would be great.
# Workaround for mitchellh/vagrant#1867
if ARGV[1] and \
(ARGV[1].split('=')[0] == "--provider" or ARGV[2])
provider = (ARGV[1].split('=')[1] || ARGV[2])
else
provider = (ENV['VAGRANT_DEFAULT_PROVIDER'] || :virtualbox).to_sym
end
puts "Detected #{provider}"
if provider == "aws"
puts 'If you want to use the AWS provider, you must provide these
variables: '
<code snip>
end
Thanks,
Hamilton
