vmware vagrant plugin causing fusion 10 to overwrite dhcpd.conf files

[Dan Cook]

I have been chasing my tail on this issue for several days and I think I have found an issue with vmware_fusion plugin and/or fusion 10.x

I use dhcp address reservations extensively in my test setups.  I modify the vmnet8/dhcp.conf file to add my hosts mac and fixed address (listed below).

This works great as long as I don't do a vagrant up on any box using the vmware_fusion provider.

For example the very simple Vagrant file below causes the vmnet8/dhcp.conf file to be overwritten. (reconfigured).

I can cause fusion itself to overwrite the file if I reconfigure the network using the vmnet-cli command:

  $ sudo /Applications/VMware\ Fusion.app/Contents/Library/vmnet-cli --configure

It is almost like the vagrant fusion plugin is causing fusion to "reconfigure" its networks and thus overwrite the dhcp.conf file.

Can somebody else try it and see if they experience the same behavior.  I don't know if the vagrant plugin is to blame or if there is a bug in fusion that vagrant is triggering, but this is driving me nuts that this broke in fusion 10.x and worked fine in 7 and 8.

Steps to reproduce:

* Add a host entry to the bottom vmnet8/dhcp.conf file

* Create a simple fusion Vagrantfile

* Up the box

* dhcp.conf file is overwritten

Thanks, 

Dan
