This is a Vagrant plugin to execute commands inside a VM from the host machine.

**NB** This was only tested with Vagrant 2.0.3 and Windows Server 2016.

# Installation

```bash

vagrant plugin install vagrant-execute

```

# Usage

The general syntax is:

```plain

vagrant execute [vm-name] [--sudo] <-c|--command> 

```

To troubleshoot, set the `VAGRANT_LOG` environment variable to `debug`.

## Example

In this repo there's an example [Vagrantfile](Vagrantfile). Use it to launch

an example.

Install the [Base Windows Box](https://github.com/rgl/windows-2016-vagrant).

Launch the VM:

```bash

vagrant up

```

Execute a command without and with administrative privileges and compare the results:

```bash

vagrant execute -c 'whoami /all'        >whoami.txt

vagrant execute -c 'whoami /all' --sudo >whoami-sudo.txt

meld whoami.txt whoami-sudo.txt # or diff -u whoami.txt whoami-sudo.txt

```

# Development

To hack on this plugin you need to install [Bundler](http://bundler.io/)

and other dependencies. On Ubuntu:

```bash

sudo apt install bundler libxml2-dev zlib1g-dev

```

Then use it to install the dependencies:

```bash

bundle

```

Build this plugin gem:

```bash

rake

```

Then install it into your local vagrant installation:

```bash

vagrant plugin install pkg/vagrant-execute-*.gem

```

You can later run everything in one go:

```bash

rake && vagrant plugin uninstall vagrant-execute && vagrant plugin install pkg/vagrant-execute-*.gem

```
