I got tired of seeing red messages in my provisioning script out, so I set out looking for a solution.
The problem, red lines from non errors makes it difficult to spot some genuine errors. The requirements for a solution, accept any command and show green output for all commands that succeed. The solution: a shell function that accepts a description and command, returns success messages for commands with a zero exit code, returns the output of a command for non zero exit codes. I have decided to share the function with the vagrant community in the hope some of you find it useful. You can find the project on Github: https://github.com/michaelward82/vagrant-provisioning-shell-function-helper Example usage: exe "Update apt indexes" \ sudo apt-get update Provisioning output: ==> Execute: Update apt indexes ==> ... ==> ... ==> ... ==> ✔ Success Example of the default vagrant output from a fully functioning provisioning script that calls openssl and php composer command: <https://camo.githubusercontent.com/7033337f6da9b82c242f9bd029fd84e9b2c0151e/687474703a2f2f692e737461636b2e696d6775722e636f6d2f46334936582e706e67> Example of the same script using my exe function: <https://camo.githubusercontent.com/4ca5fea1131504b4adeab598abe9c9088e744168/687474703a2f2f692e737461636b2e696d6775722e636f6d2f757942726c2e706e67> And output should there be a genuine error in your script: <https://camo.githubusercontent.com/6812d9cef5b1838aef4cb93c88ddc37165b45349/687474703a2f2f692e737461636b2e696d6775722e636f6d2f36364564302e706e67> This script function has only been used by myself and isn't widely battle tested. I'd love feedback and fixes for edge cases through Github.
