Cannot make trellis work on Win10 + WSL2 - vagrant up run to an error : `playbook` does not exist on the guest

Hi everyone,

I am a Windows 10 user, and I’m trying to figure out how to make Trellis Work with windows and WSL2 without success.

My configuration :

  • WSL 2
  • Vagrant 2.2.13 (on both Win10 and WSL2)
  • Ansible 2.7

I also added some configuration to my ~/.bashrc file :

export PATH="$PATH:/mnt/c/Program Files/Oracle/VirtualBox"
export VAGRANT_WSL_ENABLE_WINDOWS_ACCESS="1"
# Telling WSL to use the vagrant version of Windows (* not in the documentation) 
alias vagrant=vagrant.exe

To get to that point I followed the specific Windows 10 user documentation but I had to follow extra steps I wanted to point out, so maybe you can update the documentation :

  1. I couldn’t install pip, I had to install pip3 (not a big deal, but I think you should mentioned it)
  2. While doing a vagrant up the first time, it seems that vagrant was launched on the WSL2 machine, and I get this error : The host path of the shared folder is not supported from WSL. Host path of the shared folder must be located on a file system with DrvFs type. Host path: /mnt/f/.....
    In order to fix that I added the line mentioned above (*) in my ~./bashrc file : alias vagrant=vagrant.exe in order to launch the vagrant version of Win10
    -> I found this fix in this tutorial

So this time, vagrant up is doing something ! But here come the struggle, and I’m stuck to this point…

Here is the output of vagrant up :

`playbook` does not exist on the guest: /home/vagrant/trellis/dev.yml

The playbook cannot be found, so ansible cannot do his job…

After that, a vagrant ssh is working and I noticed that the /home/vagrant folder exists but the folder /home/vagrant/trellis/ does not. So, no surprise, there is no dev.yml either as the error above said

So, did I miss something ? Is there extra step missing in the documentation ? Is this a bug ?
Notice that I’m not very familar with Vagrant, so I really hope some can help :slight_smile:

Thanks in advance !

According to your log, a shared folder is mounted:
/vagrant => F:/www/Roots/lorem/trellis
Does F:/www/Roots/lorem/trellis contain a dev.yml file?

Related (shared on WSL):

yes the dev.yml fil is here

However, it occurs I just find out : it was related to my Vagrant version. I had to downgrade to vagrant 2.2.10 and now it works !

So my issue seems to be more related to this one in some way :

Now it seems that I’m having trouble with my ansible version but seems to be another story !

Thanks
