With the introduction of `pip_args` option, you can easily extend the `:pip` installation mode behaviour. But some interesting/advanced usages are still not possible because of the auto-generated parts ("ansible" package, version selection, and the `--upgrade` flag). By adding this "pip_args_only" install mode, it will be for instance possible to: - install unofficial releases, like release candidates published at https://releases.ansible.com/ - install more pip packages (e.g. via a `requirements.txt` file), with hash validation, etc. Note that there is no config validation that requires `pip_args` option to be defined when the :pip_args_only mode is selected. This would be more elegant, and user friendly to raise a configuration error, but this can wait. At least, running with an empty `pip_args` won't lead to any command crash, since the rather dummy "pip install" shows an helper notice and terminates with a zero (0) exit code. This change is thought as a complement to the changes originally proposed in pull request GH-8170. |

Vagrant

Vagrant is a tool for building and distributing development environments.
Development environments managed by Vagrant can run on local virtualized platforms such as VirtualBox or VMware, in the cloud via AWS or OpenStack, or in containers such as with Docker or raw LXC.
Vagrant provides the framework and configuration format to create and manage complete portable development environments. These development environments can live on your computer or in the cloud, and are portable between Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux.
Quick Start
For the quick-start, we'll bring up a development machine on VirtualBox because it is free and works on all major platforms. Vagrant can, however, work with almost any system such as [OpenStack] (https://www.openstack.org/), [VMware] (https://www.vmware.com/), [Docker] (https://docs.docker.com/), etc.
First, make sure your development machine has VirtualBox installed. After this, download and install the appropriate Vagrant package for your OS.
To build your first virtual environment:
vagrant init hashicorp/precise32
vagrant up
Note: The above vagrant up
command will also trigger Vagrant to download the
precise32
box via the specified URL. Vagrant only does this if it detects that
the box doesn't already exist on your system.
Getting Started Guide
To learn how to build a fully functional development environment, follow the getting started guide.
Installing the Gem from Git
If you want the bleeding edge version of Vagrant, we try to keep master pretty stable and you're welcome to give it a shot. Please review the installation page here.
Contributing to Vagrant
To install Vagrant from source, please follow the guide in the Wiki.
You can run the test suite with:
bundle exec rake
This will run the unit test suite, which should come back all green! Then you're good to go!
If you want to run Vagrant without having to install the gem, you may use bundle exec
,
like so:
bundle exec vagrant help
Acceptance Tests
Vagrant also comes with an acceptance test suite that does black-box tests of various Vagrant components. Note that these tests are extremely slow because actual VMs are spun up and down. The full test suite can take hours. Instead, try to run focused component tests.
To run the acceptance test suite, first copy vagrant-spec.config.example.rb
to vagrant-spec.config.rb
and modify it to valid values. The places you
should fill in are clearly marked.
Next, see the components that can be tested:
$ rake acceptance:components
cli
provider/virtualbox/basic
...
Then, run one of those components:
$ rake acceptance:run COMPONENTS="cli"
...
