Vagrant Unison Plugin

This is a Vagrant 1.1+ plugin that syncs files over SSH from a local folder to your Vagrant VM (local or on AWS). Under the covers it uses Unison

NOTE: This plugin requires Vagrant 1.1+,

• Unisoned folder support via unison over ssh -> will work with any vagrant provider, eg Virtualbox or AWS.

1. You must already have Unison installed and in your path.
   • On Mac you can install this with Homebrew: brew install unison
   • On Unix (Ubuntu) install using sudo apt-get install unison
   • On Windows, download 2.40.102, unzip, rename Unison-2.40.102 Text.exe to unison.exe and copy to somewhere in your path.
2. Install using standard Vagrant 1.1+ plugin installation methods.

$ vagrant plugin install vagrant-unison

1. After installing, edit your Vagrantfile and add a configuration directive similar to the below:

Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
  config.vm.box = "dummy"

  config.sync.host_folder = "src/"  #relative to the folder your Vagrantfile is in
  config.sync.guest_folder = "src/" #relative to the vagrant home folder -> /home/vagrant

end

1. Start up your starting your vagrant box as normal (eg: vagrant up)

Run vagrant sync to start watching the local_folder for changes, and syncing these to your vagrang VM.

Under the covers this uses your system installation of Unison, which must be installed in your path.

To work on the vagrant-unison plugin, clone this repository out, and use Bundler to get the dependencies:

$ bundle

Once you have the dependencies, verify the unit tests pass with rake:

$ bundle exec rake

If those pass, you're ready to start developing the plugin. You can test the plugin without installing it into your Vagrant environment by just creating a Vagrantfile in the top level of this directory (it is gitignored) that uses it, and uses bundler to execute Vagrant:

$ bundle exec vagrant up 
$ bundle exec vagrant sync
