Packaging windows vm force shuts down if running

[Ben Hines]

When using 'vagrant package' to package a windows vm which is running in Virtualbox vagrant force
shuts down the VM.

It should check for/ try to use WinRM to shut down the vm (as well as ssh) if it detects a windows vm.

This is a vm which was spun up by vagrant, and i'm attempting to repackage it as a basebox:

[bhines@sm-bhines-764:[~/

Documents/Code/sms/vagrant] [0]$ vagrant package --base vagrant_recap_1401745583866_68047
==> vagrant_recap_1401745583866_68047: Attempting graceful shutdown of VM...
    vagrant_recap_1401745583866_68047: Guest communication could not be established! This is usually because
    vagrant_recap_1401745583866_68047: SSH is not running, the authentication information was changed,
    vagrant_recap_1401745583866_68047: or some other networking issue.
Vagrant will force halt, if
    vagrant_recap_1401745583866_68047: capable.
==> vagrant_recap_1401745583866_68047: Forcing shutdown of VM...
==> vagrant_recap_1401745583866_68047: Clearing any previously set forwarded ports...
==> vagrant_recap_1401745583866_68047: Exporting VM...

I would expect that it should only attempt to use the communicator type you have configured. In your example, which communicator type are you using, SSH or WinRM?

[Ben Hines]

 vagrant package doesn't have any connection with a VM definition in a Vagrantfile. It's just packaging a running virtualbox VM into a .box file. This VM happens to be a Windows VM, which supports WinRM and could be shut down that way, but vagrant does not try to. (it only tries ssh)

I didn't realize that. You should submit a bug report.

For that matter i'm not sure what ssh credentials it's trying.. maybe the default vagrant/vagrant? In this case it will work since i'm repackaging a vagrant vm back to a box file.

I'll put in a bug.

thanks-
