Chef Porovisioner fails on first attempt about vagrant-windows HOT 7 CLOSED

I had a similar problem, that I worked around by hacking the provision file in vagrant itself, I'm not sure where the "proper" fix belongs so I don't have any open pull request, but see if https://github.com/dpetzel/vagrant/commit/3b2f6251724beff352bb2d99901aa25431380aec lets you work around the issue.

Would it make sense to have the mapping provisioner wait some time. i.e.

$tries = 6
while (-not Test-Path "$MountPoint" -and $tries -le 6)
{
  sleep 10
}

@dpetzel I am not sure that I understand what the hack is doing. It looks like it is just running a net use without error checking. Any idea how running the net use solves the problem? Do you think that running this in the mount script would solve you specific issue?

Yes all it does it a net use with no error checking. I can't explain WHY it works, but it has solved the issue for me.

As far as the wait time, in the testing that I did, I would tried waiting upwards of 30 minutes and it still would not work. They only success I had was manually running the net use, and then the provisioner would work fine.

Running the net use in the mount script might just work, but since I don't really know the root cause of the issue, its hard to say for sure.

@pmorton Putting it in the mount script does work (though the actual net use command fails). See https://github.com/julia-ci/vagrant-windows/blob/master/lib/vagrant-windows/scripts/mount_volume.ps1.erb

Perfect that is what I was going to ask. So I will test things out with

& net use $share

from vagrant-windows.

Published a new version to ruby gems to fix this issue. 0.1.0

from vagrant-windows.

Everything is working, but the net use command causes an error message on my Windows Server 2008 R2 box. Is that normal?
