Use Vagrant box add to use the box_url

[SurferL]

Consider this vagrant file:

config.vm.define "mac" do |subconfig|

    subconfig.vm.box = "mac.box"

    subconfig.vm.box_url = "redacted-url-to.box"

    subconfig.vm.boot_timeout = 1200

    subconfig.vm.graceful_halt_timeout = 1200

    subconfig.ssh.username = "vagrant"

    subconfig.ssh.password = "vagrant"

    subconfig.vm.provider "parallels" do |prl|

      prl.name = "mac-dev"

      prl.update_guest_tools = true

    end

  end

Due to a bug I'm unable to do `vagrant up mac`, which on first run would download the box file for me and then stand it up. To workaround said bug, I need to do `vagrant box add...` first.

Is it possible to do `vagrant box add vm.box.url` or something along those lines? where the command would read into the Vagrantfile and get the url for the config I want?

Thanks!

Hello

Should be working, seems the problem is the box is called mac.box

   subconfig.vm.box = "mac.box"

    subconfig.vm.box_url = "redacted-url-to.box"

Can you try to match the name of the box? ie mac

you can add the box like

vagrant box add --name mac --provider <provider_here> <url_to_box_here>

Alvaro.

Hi,

Putting in the URL directly does work, however I was wondering if there was another way to do that?

In an ideal scenario I would just use `vagrant up mac` and I would like to do `vagrant box add mac` without having to manually putting in the URL if that makes sense?

can you update the name of the box to mac

then should work in the way you want.

I think the problem is on the original vagrantfile your box is called mac.box

I've updated the config to:

config.vm.define "mac" do |subconfig|

    subconfig.vm.box = "mac"

    subconfig.vm.box_url = "redacted-url-to.box"

    subconfig.vm.boot_timeout = 1200

    subconfig.vm.graceful_halt_timeout = 1200

    subconfig.ssh.username = "vagrant"

    subconfig.ssh.password = "vagrant"

    subconfig.vm.provider "parallels" do |prl|

      prl.name = "mac-dev"

      prl.update_guest_tools = true

    end

  end

And doing `vagrant box add mac` does not work?
