Before we were manually going over every plugin and getting each piece,
all over the place. Now we have a central manager that will give us all
the pieces we want. There is still some cleanup to do here but this is
much better overall.
This involved defaulting all box searching at the moment to VirtualBox.
Additionally, box upgrading is not yet handled. This needs to be done at
some point.
The box collection can now find new-style boxes with providers and
return proper Box objects. In the future, we'll also have to implement
upgrading old style ones as well.
This is the beginning of the new box internals. The basic idea is that
the new box has a new field: provider. The provider will describe what
provider that box was built with and what provider it is made to work
with.
Before, the tempfile "f" could be GC'd before the path was used,
resulting in failed tests because when it is GC'd the tempfile is
removed. We now store the tempfile in an instance variable so that it
isn't even available for GC until after the test is finished running.
Tests before were picking up a Vagrantfile in the Vagrant source
directory, which can cause some funny failures. This ensures that each
test run will actually establish a new temporary CWD so that a
Vagrantfile is hopefully never found.
Config::Loader will be the new class responsible for loading configuration
and replaces the previous dual-role "Vagrant::Config" played. While this
commit is very early-stage, once this new architecture is flushed out, it
will make loading, using, and extending configuration much easier and cleaner.
Additionally, I believe this will help post Vagrant 1.0 if multi-language
configuration is implemented.
