Two variables were declared and assigned the respective values of the
default settings for the system. If the keyword is used in the
~/.zulip-vagrant-config file, the value is assigned to the variable.
There is no straightforward way to customize the virtual machine's
number of cpus or memory, this commit addresses that fact.
On OSX, the user id and group id don't match. So while the previous
code was always wrong, it produced incorrect output there. We can fix
this by replacing `whoami` with `id -g` for finding the current user's
group ID.
This commit fixes hot module replacement in webpack. To do this
we open port 9994 used by webpack to communicate between browser
and devserver. The attempts to forward the proxy from 9991 failed
so the last resort was to open up the webpack port.
It also removes an uncessary plugin in the webpack config and moves
the --hot flag to tools/webpack.
Trying to replace the string on newer versions of vagrant fails with a
'RuntimeError: can't modify frozen String' error. On newer versions of Vagrant,
the server URL is correct already.
Update version of Vagrant from 1.8.6 to 2.0.2.
Update version of VirtualBox from 5.1.8 to 5.2.6.
We needed to update Vagrant because older versions have networking
problems on modern Macs, resulting in weird `apt` errors when
provisioning.
Commit message and some text tweaked by tabbott.
This workaround is only for new users. Users who are/were using old
versions of Vagrant has to manually change the value of box
metadata_url. See https://github.com/hashicorp/vagrant/issues/9442
This is intended to fix serious issues with frequent guest crashes on
OSX High Sierra with Virtualbox and the default file synchronization.
Note from Tim: We've tried this idea before, and it worked for Mac,
but caused problems for non-Mac users of our Vagrant setup that
resulted in it being reverted in
1432e9afb0.
Hopefully the new conditional will handle things correctly in both Mac
and Linux.
Before this commit, provisioning was done by executing provision.py,
which printed the log directly to stdout, making debugging harder.
This commit creates a wrapper bash script 'provision' in tools, which
calls 'zulip/scripts/tools/provision_vm.py' (the new location of
provision.py) and prints all the output to
'zulip/var/log/zulip/zulip_provision.log' via 'tee'.
Travis tests and docs have been modified accordingly.
This adds support for using VMWare Fusion as the Vagrant provider,
which has better performance than Virtualbox at the price of being
nonfree (in all senses of the term).
We haven't done solid benchmarking as to how much faster it is than
the Virtualbox provider.
Since we merged cd2348e9ae more than a
month ago and haven't seen any noticable regresions as a result, it's
reasonable at this point to do a corresponding decrease in our
documented RAM requirements for the Zulip development environment.
Apparently LXC 2 removed support for the `-B best` option in
lxc-create, and Vagrant hasn't been updated appropriately yet, so we
need to add a workaround to explicitly specify a backing store.
Fixes#718.
This manifested as errors of the form:
"""
There was an error executing ["sudo",
"/usr/local/bin/vagrant-lxc-wrapper", "lxc-create", "-B", "best",
"--template",
"/home/tabbott/.vagrant.d/gems/gems/vagrant-lxc-1.2.1/scripts/lxc-template",

"""
The `with sh.sudo` pattern that we were using in python-sh was
deprecated, and emperically hangs on Ubuntu xenial. Since in general
the use of python-sh/python-pbs caused trouble (requiring extra
dependencies, confusing syntax), this just removes it.
We replace it with a new zulip_tools.py library function that echoes
the command line and streams the output.
We do the same to install-phantomjs so we can remove that dependency.
This solves the problem reported in #331 with needing to specify
--provider=lxc to use the LXC provider in an Ubuntu Linux environment;
additionally, it adds the LXC option needed to run LXC on Ubuntu
15.10, but not on 14.04 where that option is unavailable and would
totally break LXC.
By default we are placed inside a virtualenv by the .bash_profile using
/usr/bin/python forces the provisioning script to run outside of this
virtualenv.
