Show VM status in Tart list

[tomjn]

Tart list currently displays the source and name for VMs but it doesn't indicate if the VM is currently running or not, or if the VM has been created.

For example, if I run this commands:

# Create a bare VM
tart create --linux ubuntu

But leave out the last command, I have a bare VM that has not been run, tart list should show this.

It might also be that a tart status command would be more appropriate for this, if so tart status and tart status ubuntu would be very helpful commands to have

I guess we might be able to see if some VM files are locked to kind of figure out if a VM is running similar to

tart/Sources/tart/Commands/Run.swift

Line 132 in fb954b7

if error.localizedDescription.contains("Failed to lock auxiliary storage.") {

. @edigaryev what do you think?

[tomjn]

I spotted that, I didn't think it would be relevant though given it only runs in a VNC check, and vagrant environments are normally headless, so a more universal solution seemed appropriate

[tomjn]

Of note it would be helpful to know the following states:

• not created
• being created ( e.g. when images are being copied etc to start up the VM for the first time )
• running
• not running/stopped
• error

It might make sense to note this down in a file alongside the VM

Will having just running/stopped be sophisticated for the first iteration?

Just running/stopped seems doable with minimum changes to Tart. IMO the goal should be to make as less changes to Tart as possible for the first PoC for the plugin. If everything will work and the Vagrant integration will thrive in popularity, then we can work on improving the integration with more complex changes.

That works, it may be necessary to spoof the startup state but I’d advise a failure state even if there aren’t many places that trigger it.

tart get <VM NAME> is now showing whether a VM is running or not. 👌
