Customize vm.name in Vagrantfile.erb

[dennyzhang]

If we want to customize VM name in vm list of virtualbox, we can customize vm.name in Vagrantfile.

Looks like Vagrantfile.erb currently doesn't support us to do that.

Thanks.

Something like this in Vagrantfile

  config.vm.provider :virtualbox do |vb|
    vb.name = "mytest.dennyzhang.com"
    vb.customize ["modifyvm", :id, "--memory", 2048, "--cpus", "2"]
  end

[dennyzhang]

It's supported indeed like below, though not that apparent.

We can mark it as INVALID now.

Vagrangfile

driver:
  name: vagrant
driver_config:
  use_sudo: false
  customize:
      name: kitchen-vagrant-ubuntu-1404

@dennyzhang, glad you were able to sort this out without any code changes, yay!

I'm assuming you had a reason for wanting to set the vm.name--care to add some insight for me so I can better understand?

As it looks like you're good to go here, I'll close this out and feel free to reopen if I've misunderstood. Thanks!

@fnichol I have multiple VMs in virtualbox, so I'd like to differentiate them by name in the list.

@dennyzhang as of #101 (released in 0.16.0+), the names in VirtualBox (and VMware) should be named something like:

"kitchen-#{project_directory_name}-#{instance_name}"

Would that help?
