Fail early

[Daryl Wood]

Hi,

I want the vagrantfile script to fail early if the box cannot be downloaded due to a proxy or firewall.

What's the best way to make that happen?

Thanks

Hello

if there is no connectivity to download the box, then on vagrant up will fail.

not sure how you can make it fail earlier.

Can you describe what you see today ?

If someone copy a project of yours, and and then do vagrant up, it should fail very soon if can't download the box.

Thanks

Alvaro.

You could potentially run a test ping inside the ruby before the vagrant section against the atlas.hashicorp.com website and if you can't reach it simply exit instead of going on.

Thanks for the reply,

The box fails if it cannot connect to atlas.hashicorp.com, as it should, but I want to handle the error.

You should be able to run an arbitrary command from within the Vagrantfile (its just Ruby) so you could try a 

ping = `ping -c 3 atlas.hashicorp.com || false`
if ping
 <dosomething>
else
puts "Proxy or network issue detected, aborting"
exit 1

This is not valid Ruby (I'm a Python guy mostly) but it gives you a general idea.
