Summary

I get

TASK [geerlingguy.drush : Install Drush.] **************************************
fatal: [boxname]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "failed": true, "msg": "Destination /usr/local/bin not writable"}

on vagrant up.
reason is /usr/local/bin does not exist on vm.

[geerlingguy]

Strange—the tests passed, at least: https://travis-ci.org/geerlingguy/drupal-vm/builds/269525498

But they're using Docker, and the Docker base image is a little different than the VirtualBox Vagrant base box.

[geerlingguy]

I'm testing this now using the following config.yml:

vagrant_box: geerlingguy/debian9

I'll let you know if I can replicate the issue locally.

In my environment, the drush tasks all completed successfully:

Are you using a different base image besides geerlingguy/debian9? Any other configuration differences?

[geerlingguy]

Ah, just realized—are you running Debian 9 as your workstation and also using debian9 as the base box? Or are you using a different base box? And same question as above still—any other config.yml changes?

[heigh8]

debian 9 is the workstation, the base box is debian 8.
and yes - we do have some custom config.yaml, I'll attach it.
config.yml.txt
Thanks!

[heigh8]

sorry didn't mean to close..

[oxyc]

Looking at your config.yml your vagrant_hostname is invalid (the _), and there's also a few duplicate options.

[oxyc]

I can reproduce:

TASK [geerlingguy.drush : Install Drush.] **************************************
fatal: [project_name]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "failed": true, "msg": "Destination /usr/local/bin not writable"}

vagrant@project-name:~$ ls /usr/local
etc  games  include  lib  man  sbin  share  src
vagrant@project-name:~$ echo $PATH
/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/games:/usr/games

Seems we just need to ensure the path exists.

[oxyc]

@geerlingguy should that be taken care of in the drush role or in Drupal VM?

[geerlingguy]

Annoyingly, the default $PATH on Debian 8 even includes it:

/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin

But it also includes sbin, which does exist. So I think I'll make the path an OS default variable and set a default for Debian.

[geerlingguy]

Or actually I can just ensure bin exists. That might be simpler.

Fixed upstream; will commit the fix in a few minutes.
