Plugin Development using Vagrant

Vagrant from HashiCorp creates virtual environments that can easily allow unique testing destinations for your plugin development.

To develop using Vagrant, copy this folder to a new location and change the config.vm.box to the a supported VN that you would like to target.

Functionality

You can start the VM using the following Vagrantfile:

# vi: set ft=ruby :
Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
  config.vm.box = "ubuntu/jammy64"
end

Start the environment using:

vagrant up

A typical development folder might look like this:

-rwxrwxr-x 1 mcrowe mcrowe  940 Feb 13 11:32 start.sh*
-rw-rw-r-- 1 mcrowe mcrowe 3020 Feb 13 08:05 Vagrantfile
drwxrwxr-x 4 mcrowe mcrowe 4096 Feb 13 10:08 xxh-plugin-bash-bashit/
drwxrwxr-x 4 mcrowe mcrowe 4096 Feb 13 08:56 xxh-plugin-prerun-dotbare/

The start.sh script starts an xxh session to the VM and maps in any xxh- folders in the session. For example:

To reset everything and start again:

vagrant destroy && vagrant up
