Gradle plugin for managing Vagrant boxes.
To use the plugin, include in your build script:
buildscript {
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.bmuschko:gradle-vagrant-plugin:3.0.0'
}
}
If you want to create your own task for managing Vagrant, you should go with the base plugin. This option is usually helpful
if you are dealing with multiple VMs in parallel. The base plugin provides all custom task types and preconfigures them with
sensible defaults. To use the base plugin, add the following apply
notation to your build script.
apply plugin: 'com.bmuschko.vagrant-base'
The base plugin provides the following custom task types:
Type | Description |
---|---|
Stops the running machine Vagrant is managing and destroys all resources. |
|
Shuts down the running machine Vagrant is managing. |
|
The equivalent of running a halt followed by an up. |
|
Executes a SSH command on the Vagrant machine. |
|
Outputs the valid configuration for an SSH config file to SSH. |
|
Outputs the state of the machines Vagrant is managing. |
|
Suspends the guest machine Vagrant is managing. |
|
Creates and configures guest machines according to your Vagrantfile. |
The base plugin defines the following extension properties in the vagrant
closure:
Property name | Type | Default value | Description |
---|---|---|---|
|
File |
|
The directory the targeted Vagrant box resides in. |
|
String |
virtualbox |
The backend provider to be used. |
The recommended way for providing values to the Vagrantfile
from the outside is to use environment variables. This is made
possible through the nested configuration element environmentVariables
. This element exposes the method variable
that
takes two parameters: the key and value for a environment variable. For each invocation of this method a new key/value pair
is added to internal property named variables
.
Property name | Type | Default value | Description |
---|---|---|---|
|
Map<String, String> |
[:] |
Provided environment variables as key/value pairs. |
By default the plugin validates the installation of the Vagrant runtime and the selected provider. This validation logic
can be disabled from your buildscript. This is made possible through the nested configuration element installation
.
This element exposes the method validate
that take a single parameter.
Property name | Type | Default value | Description |
---|---|---|---|
|
Boolean |
true |
Installation validation |

If you want the plugin to preconfigure commonly-used tasks for you, you should go with the full-fledged convention plugin.
This plugin is a viable option if you only have to deal with a single VM. To use the convention plugin, add the following apply
notation to your build script.
apply plugin: 'com.bmuschko.vagrant'
The plugin defines the following tasks:
