Hi, I'm getting an error using vagrant 1.1.4 and vmware fusion.

$ vagrant up --provider=vmware_fusion
Bringing machine 'web' up with 'vmware_fusion' provider...
[web] Cloning Fusion VM: 'centos65fusion'. This can take some time...
[web] Verifying vmnet devices are healthy...
[web] Preparing network adapters...
[web] Starting the VMware VM...
An error occurred while executing `vmrun`, a utility for controlling
VMware machines. The command and output are below:
 
Command: ["start", "/Users/curtis/working/vagrant/centos6fusion/.vagrant/machines/web/vmware_fusion/vm.vmwarevm/vagrant-centos-6.4-x86_64.vmx", "nogui", {:notify=>[:stdout, :stderr]}]
 
Output: Error: The file is already in use

Here's a gist with my vagrantfile: https://gist.github.com/curtisgithub/5248449

I'm guessing there's something wrong with the vagrant file? Anyone have any thoughts on that?

Thanks,
Curtis.

Curtis,

Could you get all the "*.log" files from ".vagrant/machines/web/vmware_fusion/vm.vmwarevm/" and gist them?

This is an issue with Fusion itself. Fusion is complaining that it can't open certain files for the VM because they are already in use.

Best,
Mitchell

Curtis,

I ran into this last night when creating a CentOS image. I was able to work around the problem by renaming the base image I used to create the box image.

cd ~/Documents/Virtual\ Machines.localized
mv vagrant-centos6-64.vmwarevm vagrant-centos6-64-base.vmwarevm

However, the problem would reoccur each time I tweaked my image. I suspect it has something to do with the image name defined within the plist or vmx file.


Ok, thanks Chris. Good to know.

Curtis.

Curtis, Chris,

This is fixed with version 0.4.2 of the Fusion provider plugin, released today. Just `vagrant plugin install` the plugin again and it'll be fixed. :)

Best,
Mitchell
