memory setting ignored for Vbox

[dhoer]

Trying to set memory with the following

driver:
  name: vagrant
  provider:
    name: VBox
platforms:
  - name: ubuntu14
    box: ubuntu/trusty64
    memory: 8192

But the memory remains at 512.

As may be seen in examples of Vagrantfiles with virtualbox here: https://www.vagrantup.com/docs/providers/virtualbox/configuration, the provider name is virtualbox (all lower case), so your molecule.yml should look like:

driver:
  name: vagrant
  provider:
    name: virtualbox
platforms:
  - name: ubuntu14
    box: ubuntu/trusty64
    memory: 8192

For now, using the wrong provider name will still get a VM created, even if the settings are kind-of ignored. I've been wondering for quite some time to add to the vagrant up command the --provider $providername argument which will possibly result in an error if the provider name is wrong. Unfortunately it may break some people setup....

Thanks for the quick response. Having a warning about provider name mismatch might be a good start, or a deprecation warning. I don't remember where I found the configuration example that had VBox, but an example on the readme page would be a nice-to-have. If I have time this weekend, I will submit a PR to add it.
