hello when you add a vagrant box, it will add it to:
~/.vagrant.d/boxes when you include files in the box they get added in the compressed file of the box. think on the template vm on disk and other files. When you do vagrant init, you are just creating a new Vagrantfile, that tells the local project, what base box use (say a template) At this moment, no files are copied from the ~/.vagrant.d/boxes to the local directory. When you do vagrant up, lets say with virtualbox, vagrant creates a VM in the default path to have VMs in virtualbox settings. At this moment, no files are copied from the ~/.vagrant.d/boxes to the local directory. So I am not sure I follow the bug part. My suggestion will be check where the files end added, and see if you can make it work. However, i am not sure this is a bug. no current operations copy files into the project folder, so is safe to assume using chef, it won't copy them neither. If you can specify the location, then on the included Vagrantfile you can reference the path like File.expand_path(File.dirname(__FILE__)) If you got a file named "file.ext", will be File.expand_path(File.dirname(__FILE__))/file.ext Alvaro On Wed, Nov 28, 2018 at 8:13 PM Nc Diesel <sy...@triad.rr.com> wrote: > So: No tip,tricks or hints on this?
