Vagrantfile plugin dependencies

[Bjorn W]

Hi,

I'm creating a Vagrantfile which uses https://github.com/cogitatio/vagrant-hostsupdater to automatically setup a host's /etc/hosts file so I can access Virtualhost on guests easily from the host. If I'm distributing this Vagrantfile with other people how can I make sure this plugin will be loaded for them when using my Vagrantfile?

Thanks,

grtz

Bjorn,

At the moment, all you can do is a `Vagrant.has_plugin?` check. There is also `Vagrant.require_plugin` but that is not what you expect and is deprecated in 1.5 (does nothing). 

In the future, you'll be able to actually list out plugin dependencies, but as of now that isn't the case. The best you can do now is show an error.

Best,

Mitchell

Hey Bjorn,

Check out bindler in the meantime:
https://github.com/fgrehm/bindler

@mitchellh: great to hear that plugin dependency management will be part of vagrant core soon!

HTH,
Torben

Hi Mitchell,

Thanks for your quick reply. I'll look into Vagrant.has_plugin and
Bindler (thanks Torben!) to solve my issue. Looking forward to see
plugin management becoming part of Vagrant.

ps: Thanks for your work on Vagrant, it is very much appreciated!

Thanks Mitchell, awesome work!

Is that future 1.5? Just ran into the deprecation warning and wondering how I'm able to require a plugin.

Hey Mitchell,

What's the latest on this? Is this still the way to go?

# Poor man's dependency management.

unless Vagrant.has_plugin?('vagrant-omnibus')

  puts 'This machine requires some plugins, please install them:'

  puts '$ vagrant plugin install vagrant-omnibus'

  exit

end

Kind regards,

Dennis
