Vagrant

CDAF Vagrant boxes support VirtualBox and Hyper-V. Previously Hyper-V on a workstation did not have a native NAT network support, however, it now does, making it more functionally equivalent to VirtualBox. Using Administrator PowerShell session.

. { iwr -useb https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cdaf/windows/master/install.ps1 } | iex
./automation/provisioning/base.ps1 vagrant

VirtualBox

Oracle VirtualBox

./automation/provisioning/base.ps1 virtualbox

Hyper-V

Install from the Windows features

Dism /online /enable-feature /all /featurename:Microsoft-Hyper-V

Create Desktop Environment

To create a desktop environment, navigate to the solution root and run:

vagrant up

Continuous Delivery Testing

Once the environment is running access the build server an execute the CD emulation. Note: On a Linux host bash Python WINRM can be used to provide native PowerShell access.

vagrant powershell buildserver
cd C:\vagrant
.\automation\cdEmulate.bat

Direct PowerShell Access

To access the buildserver using native remote PowerShell. Allow credential delegation, on-off step needed on the host when using VirtualBox/Vagrant.

./automation/provisioning/runner.bat CredSSP.ps1 client

Once delegation configured, the build emulation can be executed.

$securePassword = ConvertTo-SecureString 'vagrant' -asplaintext -force
$cred = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential ('vagrant', $securePassword)
enter-pssession 127.0.0.1 -port 15985 -Auth CredSSP -credential $cred
cd C:\vagrant
.\automation\cdEmulate.bat

Cleanup and Destroy

If change made that need to be checked in, clean the workspace:

.\automation\cdEmulate.bat clean

Once finished with the environment, destroy using:

vagrant destroy -f
