Vagrant Synced Folders With Windows Host and Guest, Where the folder already exists on the guest
I'm trying to set up a vagrant box for our development environment. On the vagrant box (guest VM), there is an installation of our software at C:BespokeSoftware. Within the directory of the Vagrantfile on the host, I have the directory "BespokeSoftware".
Please see my Vagrantfile below:
Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
config.vm.box = "jacqinthebox/windowsserver2016"
config.vm.synced_folder "BespokeSoftware", "C:/BespokeSoftware", type: "virtualbox"
config.vm.provision "shell", inline: <<-SHELL
slmgr /rearm
composer self-update
choco upgrade git /y
cmd.exe /c "npm-windows-upgrade -p -v latest"
SHELL
end
What I'm hoping for is the files from C:BespokeSoftware on the guest to be synced into the BespokeSoftware sub-directory of the directory which contains the Vagrantfile for this box, and vice versa.
What I'm getting is the error below:
function Test-ReparsePoint([string]$path) {
: Mount point already exists and is not a symbolic link
+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [Write-Error], WriteErrorException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.WriteErrorException
I suspect this is because the folder already exists on the Windows Guest (which is the whole point, we want to be able to swap out files in the installation which is kept up-to-date on the vagrant box at will so that we can test new applications and deploy tests), and this works by the host providing a samba share for the guest to essentially symlink at the given location. Is there a good workaround for this?
