Vagrant destroy & up output

https://gist.github.com/danieldunderfelt/084b9d07ca323d44b5a4352de82b81d7

Expected behavior

Database escaperoom should be created. I should be able to connect to mysql from the host.

Actual behavior

As seen in the up logs, it complains about MariaDB and refuses to create the DB. When I try to connect to the DB, it says "connection refused".

I also tried using MariaDB, which is what I actually want to use. In that case, the up logs contained the following:

    homestead: We didn't find MySQL ($mysql), skipping $DB creation
    homestead: mysql: Deprecated program name. It will be removed in a future release, use '/usr/bin/mariadb' instead

[Joe Ferguson]

This is going to sound silly, but I think it's a service timing issue.

open up scripts/create-mysql.sh and look around line 20 for DB=$1, add sleep 1 under it to result in:

DB=$1;
sleep 1

If you vagrant destroy -f; vagrant up the DB will be created. From my local testing w/ laravel/homestead-arm:
