Getting started project fails with a weird error on Windows

[Mike Thomsen]

I have Vagrant 1.7.4 installed already, and when I try running the Appfile for the getting started project, I get this weird error about Vagrant not being able to find the path:

C:\workspace\otto-getting-started>otto dev
←[0m←[1m==> Creating local development environment with Vagrant if it doesn't exist...←[0m
←[0m    Raw Vagrant output will begin streaming in below. Otto does
    not create this output. It is mirrored directly from Vagrant
    while the development environment is being created.

the following errors and try again:

The error messages from Vagrant are usually very informative.
Please read it carefully and fix any issues it mentions. If
the message isn't clear, please report this to the Otto project.←[0m

Any ideas about what's going on here?

Hi,

Hi,

 I'm running Windows 10, VirtualBox 5.0.12,  Vagrant 1.8.1 and Otto 0.2.0.  And I'm seeing a very similar error to this:

C:\vdd\data\drupal7>otto dev

==> Creating development environment layers...

    Otto uses layers to speed up building development environments.

    Each layer only needs to be built once. We've detected that the

    layers below aren't created yet. These will be built this time.

    Future development envirionments will use the cached versions

    to be much, much faster.

==> Creating layer: consul

Bringing machine 'default' up with 'virtualbox' provider...

There are errors in the configuration of this machine. Please fix

the following errors and try again:

File provisioner:

* File upload source file C:/Users/admin/.otto.d/global-data/vagrant-layered/layers/consul/ dddatadrupal7.otto mpiledpp criptpacksSTDLIB.tar.gz must exist

* File upload source file C:/Users/admin/.otto.d/global-data/vagrant-layered/layers/consul/ dddatadrupal7.otto mpiledpp criptpacksPHP.tar.gz must exist

Is this the same problem and can you suggest anything?

The two script pack files exist in the scriptpacks folder in the project (C:\vdd\data\drupal7\.otto\compiled\app\scriptpacks) but are not anywhere in the ....otto.d./.. folder tree shown above.

Hey Stuart,

This looks like a bug! Can you please report it (if you haven't already)? I'll take a look ASAP.

Best,

Mitchell

Thank you for looking into this.

I just downloaded otto 0.2.0 and this still appears to be an issue. The temporary fix until the merged code is released is:

Search through your .otto directory for Vagrantfiles. I found 3 for the otto-getting-started project

.otto\compiled\app\dev\Vagrantfile
.otto\compiled\app\dev\layer-base\Vagrantfile
.otto\compiled\app\foundation-layers\0-consul\Vagrantfile

if you go into each one you will see 2 double quoted strings with a windows backslashes. If you replace the double quotes with single quotes that should resolve the issue.

Everytime I ran otto compile it put the double quotes back though.

[Mitch Kuppinger]

PR #394 was merged Mar 8. However, the current release does not yet include this it appears. Windows based developers are still out in the cold.

Not sure Wesley Staples work around actually works. I walked through all Vagrantfile instances I could find on my system, changing the double quotes to single where appropriate. Still no joy with otto dev. Did not run otto compile after because as WS says that seems to put the double quotes back in.

It probably would be good practice in this project to always use single quotes in Ruby strings if the special characteristics of double quoted strings (support for interpolation, etc.) are not needed.
