With this change, it is now possible to get rid of many deprecation
messages successively introduced in Ansible 1.9, and 2.0. More
interesting, the generated inventory will contain the recommended
variable names (e.g. `ansible_host` instead of `ansible_ssh_host`)
when the compatibility mode is set to '2.0'.
Details:
- Add `compatibility_mode` option to control the Ansible parameters
format to be used. The value corresponds to the minimal version
supported. For the moment, possible values are '1.8' (corresponding to
Vagrant's former behaviour) or '2.0'.
Note that a dynamic inventory generated in compatibility mode '2.0'
is not supported by Ansible 1.x. On the other hand, Ansible 2.x so far
supports inventory format generated by the compatibility mode '1.8'.
- Add compatibility mode auto-detection, based on the available Ansible
version. This is the default behaviour in order to bring a maximum of
user friendliness. The drawback of this approach is to let potential
compatibility breaking risks, for `ansible` provisioner setups that
already integrate Ansible 2.x **AND** rely on the existence of
the generated `_ssh` variable names. Thanks to the vagrant warnings
(and its release notes), I argue that it is worth to offer
auto-detection by default, which offers a sweet transition to most
users.
- Add `become`, `become_user` and `ask_become_pass` options and their
backwards compatible aliases. The legacy options are now deprecated.
Note that we intentionally didn't provide a '1.9' compatibility mode,
as it would add extra-complexity for practically no added-value.
To my knowledge, the Ansible 2.x series haven't introduced yet any major
changes or deprecations that would motivate to introduce a higher
version compatibility mode (to be confirmed/verified).
Resolve GH-6570
Still Pending:
- Optimization: Reduce the number of `ansible` command executions.
Currently two exec calls will be performed when the compatibility
mode auto-detection is enabled (i.e. by default). We could make the
provisioner a little bit smarter to only execute `ansible` only once
in any situation (by combining "presence" and "version" checks).
- User-friendliness: Add better validator on `compatibility_mode`
option, and shows a warning or an error instead of the silent
fallback on the auto-detection modus.
- Test coverage: All the added behaviours are not fully covered yet.
Prior to this commit, if you set up multiple folders to export with NFS
on linux with the exact same hostpath, the template used to write
/etc/exports would end up placing the same path with the same IP in
/etc/exports and cause an error preventing the folders from being
properly mounted. This commit fixes that by first looking at which
folders are being exported and if there are any duplicates. If so,
remove the duplicates and only export 1 hostpath folder. If these
duplicate folders have differing nfs linux options, an exception must be
thrown because we cannot assume which options the user intended to
export with.
This commit introduces the salt_arg option that allows a user to pass
additional command line flags to the `salt` tool when provisioning with
a master setup.
It also adds additional config validation to ensure that both
`salt_args` and `salt_call_args` is an array.
Adds powershell validation to ensure powershell is available on
the PATH and checks powershell version to ensure meets the
defined minimum powershell version.
Prior to this commit, when users invoked the `rsync-auto` command using
the docker provider with boot2docker, vagrant would rsync all known
containers using the boot2docker vm rather than the current working dir.
This commit updates that behavior to ensure that only the current
working dirs vagrant machines will be rsynced.

Prior to this commit, if a user attempted to configure
`/etc/default/docker` through vagrant prior to installation, the package
manager would not override an existing configuration and installing
docker would then fail. This commit fixes this by introducing a
`post_install_provisioner` that allows users to define a provisioner
block that will run after docker has been installed, allowing users to
configure `/etc/default/docker` how they want.
This commit adds some better handling around the snapshot restore and
delete commands for the virtualbox provider. If a user attempts to restore from
a vm that does not exist, instead of exiting 0 it will raise an
exception saying the virtual machine has not been created yet.
Addtionally, if a user attempts to restore from a snapshot id that does
not exist, instead of printing a complicated exception from the
virtualbox cli tool, it prints a more useful error message telling the
user that the snapshot does not exist.
Whenever the path where the machine was first created changes, Vagrant
will now show just one warning when an action is run on the machine.
The idea is that if a user copies the machine over to a different
directory with the idea of running two different machines, this warning
will now help the user determine how to make that work.
Prior to this commit, if a user set a URL for the name of a box, vagrant
would not warn the user about using box_url instead. This would lead to
some difficult user experiences around the various box commands due to
the box name being a full URL. This commit introduces a warning to the
user and lets them know to instead use box_url.
Prior to this commit, if a user attempted to use the `vagrant snapshot
save` or `vagrant snapshot list` commands on a vm whose provider did not
support snapshots, it would simply print a warning. This commit changes
that behavior by instead raising an error.
Prior to this commit, the vagrant snapshot plugin would save snapshots
with existing names which lead to duplicate snapshot names being saved.
This commit fixes that by checking to see if the given snapshot name
already exists and if so, fails telling the user the given snapshot name
already exists. If a user passes a --force flag, vagrant will first
delete the existing snapshot, and take a new one with the given name.
Enables proper setup of VMs started from within WSL rootfs paths. Updates
setup for Windows access when working within the WSL to auto-detect settings
instead of relying on user defined environment variables.
This makes the behavior of the docker and hyperv provider consistent with the
virtualbox provider by raising an error on ssh actions if the machine is not
created or not running.
Fixes#8508
Properly detects NetworkManager on guest as well as devices controlled
by NetworkManager. Provides configuration option to enable/disbale
NetworkManager control on devices.
In some cases the SSH connection may be aborted while waiting
for setup. This includes aborted connections in the list of
applicable exceptions to retry on while waiting for the connection
to become available.
