Mccloud fails on a Windows Client
tknerr opened this issue · comments
using current HEAD revision of libvirt branch (d2370fa) on a Windows7 / Ruby 1.9.3p125 install:
mccloud init works as expected and creates a Mccloudfile
a subsequent call to mccloud status fails silently with the following error:
W:\tmp\testo>mccloud status
Error processing configfile - Sorry
with logging turned on (set MCCLOUD_LOG=STDOUT) I get this:

The actual error message was swallowed around here:
https://github.com/jedi4ever/mccloud/blob/libvirt/lib/mccloud/config.rb#L88-91
not sure whether this should be something like...
rescue LoadError => e
raise ::Mccloud::Error, "Error processing configfile: #{e}"
...or rather
rescue LoadError => e
env.ui.error "Error loading configfile - Sorry"
env.ui.error e.message
exit -1
However, it seems to be a windows-client specific issue because pty is not available on a Windows Ruby:
W:\tmp\testo>mccloud status
Error processing configfile: cannot load such file -- pty
Working on a fix for that...
Ok, now that I removed the pty dependency I got a step farther, but the provisioning fails.
I'm assuming a cygwin-compiled rsync.exe and ssh.exe on the PATH, but the rsync command fails, most likely due to the permission problems described here:

I might be copying a few methods from here which helped resolve the same issue for knife-solo:

works now, thanks!
