WSL Vagrant seems to pass wrong path format to VBoxMange.exe

[Ivan Ceasario]

Hello,

I am trying to  use vagrant under WSL. 

It launches VBoxMange.exe on the Windows OS side and tries to boot up the guest OS, however

it fails with Stderr: VBoxManage.exe: error: RawFile#0 failed to create the raw output file /mnt/d/vag/.....log

Seems vagrant is not providing the Windows/DOS path format that would be needed to right the vb log file.

I tried all combinations of the VAGRANT env variables but all result in same error:

export VAGRANT_WSL_ENABLE_WINDOWS_ACCESS=1

export VAGRANT_WSL_DISABLE_VAGRANT_HOME=true

# VAGRANT_HOME=/mnt/d/vag/wordpress-boilerplate/.vagrant.d

# export VAGRANT_WSL_WINDOWS_ACCESS_USER_HOME_PATH=/mnt/d/vag/wordpress-boilerplate

export VAGRANT_WSL_WINDOWS_ACCESS_USER_HOME_PATH="D:\\vag\\wordpress-boilderplate"

export VAGRANT_HOME="D:\\vag\\wordpress-boilderplate\\.vagrant.d"

Any ideas what else is needed to get vagrant in WSL (Ubuntu 18.08) btw?

I also tried several versions of vagrant up to 2.2.3

thanks for any clues that may help

Hey there,

It looks like that error message has something to do with the Vagrant box you are trying to bring up. From what I can

tell it looks like adding this VirtualBox customization command to your Vagrantfile will disable the serial port which

is causing the error from VirtualBox:

https://github.com/joelhandwell/ubuntu_vagrant_boxes/issues/1#issuecomment-292370353

  config.vm.provider "virtualbox" do |v|

    v.customize [ "modifyvm", :id, "--uartmode1", "disconnected" ]

  end

Hi Brian,

Thanks for the suggestion! I didn't realize you can customize virtualbox configuration in Vagrantfile.
