MediaWiki vagrant doesn't work with VMWare Fusion provider
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

So I purchased Vagrant's proprietary VMWare Fusion provider (figured I'd support them since their product is mostly open source), but apparently MediaWiki's Vagrant config simply does not work with the VMWare provider.

At first the issue was just that it could not find a compatible box, since the precise-cloud box from Ubuntu is only for virtualbox. So I went into the Vagrantfile and changed the box to precise64 instead (the default box). And then I got this error:

Bringing machine 'default' up with 'vmware_fusion' provider...
[default] Cloning VMware VM: 'precise64'. This can take some time...
[default] Verifying vmnet devices are healthy...
[default] Deleting the VM...
[default] Running cleanup tasks for 'puppet' provisioner...

Removing the following line in middleware.rb appears to make this provider work:

$FACTER['provider_version'] = env[:machine].provider.driver.version

I can't find provider_version used anywhere.

Parent5446 added a comment.Mar 4 2014, 12:29 AM

That alone does not fix it. There are numerous other problems, primarily because our puppet configuration is so reliant on the box it is based on.

MarkAHershberger added a comment.Mar 4 2014, 12:59 AM

Sure, but that is what the bug is about. I'm going through the bugs so I can provide this for a client. If you see any that I miss, please pester me.

It's used in <puppet/modules/virtualbox/manifests/init.pp>.

It's used in <puppet/modules/virtualbox/manifests/init.pp>.

Since that is obviously a virtualbox-specific instance, and I don't know enough about how to fix it, would the following work?

  • content => $::provider_version,

+ content => env[:machine].provider.driver.version,

(Also, I did report the problem to Hashicorp, but they say it is a MW-Vagrant problem. So much for uniform interfaces.)

Well the bug hasn't really been fixed yet...

Not yet. I'll return to it in a bit.

MarkAHershberger added a comment.Apr 29 2014, 9:46 PM

Still working on it, but with the latest mediawiki-vmware it mostly works.

Since I can't commit from my current location -- I should learn how to commit using http and a proxy -- I'll attach a diff with my current modifications that I think could help other people.

This appears to be working now. Think it was fixed upstream, but it is working.

Parent5446 added a comment.May 10 2014, 6:58 PM

How? I tried this with the box in the attachment, and it gives a large error output, beginning with saying that add-apt-repository is not installed (which is true, because the box doesn't have it). And of course using the normal precise-cloud box doesn't work because it's only for virtualbox.

MarkAHershberger added a comment.May 11 2014, 9:09 AM

Note that the separate bug for add-apt-repository was not the initial cause of this bug. You're right that it it keeps some boxes from working.

...and it doesn't work again. It cannot find the HHVM packages.

Seriously, changes should be tested for compatibility.

Can you provide some additional details? Is /etc/apt/sources.list.d/wikimedia.list not populated in your guest VM? Which commit of mw-vagrant are you trying? There was a very recent fix for the initial apt-get update not running before packages were installed.

Seriously, changes should be tested for compatibility.

Reviews are welcome, but I think you and Mark may be the only vmware users.

Parent5446 added a comment.Jul 10 2014, 6:53 PM

:/ I figured it out. I was using a custom box since mediawiki-vagrant does not yet vary the box based on provider. I needed to switch to an Ubuntu Trusty box rather than Precise.

In case anybody runs into the same problem, I ended up using PuPHPet's trusty box: https://vagrantcloud.com/puphpet/ubuntu1404-x64
