Parallels Box Error

[zacksiri]

I tried to run this box seems to be getting the error

There was an error loading a Vagrantfile. The file being loaded
and the error message are shown below. This is usually caused by
a syntax error.

Path: <provider config: parallels>
Line number: 42
Message: ArgumentError: wrong number of arguments (given 4, expected 1..2)

Getting the same error.

My guess is there is a problem with the syntax in the bundled Vagrantfile. I'm traveling at the moment, so I can't test variations, and  I don't use Parallels much to begin with. Perhaps you can suggest the fix? As you can see, there are 4 arguments given to the customize function. What is the correct syntax? Should it only be the last two? ```   config.vm.provider :parallels do |v, override|     v.customize["set", :id, "--on-window-close", "keep-running"]     v.customize["set", :id, "--startup-view", "headless"]     v.customize["set", :id, "--memsize", "2048"]     v.customize["set", :id, "--cpus", "2"]   end ``` Sadly I haven't done much testing with the Hyper-V/Parallels boxes, as the notebook computers I use to build those images are painfully slow. So improvements are welcome.

For now I switched to VirtualBox, but I'll take a look later into the Parallels command set.

I was able to confirm the syntax I used to set the options was wrong. I'm trying to perform a full rebuild of all boxes this week, but I'll hold off on the Parallels build for the moment, until I get we can figure out what the correct syntax is. Anybody know? Pull request welcome.

I'm still investigating, but I tracked down the documentation. My config appears to match the docs available at:

http://parallels.github.io/vagrant-parallels/docs/configuration.html#prlctl

Which explicitly states:

Multiple customize directives can be used simultaneously. They will be executed in the given order.

I'll have to check, but perhaps that doesn't mean what it says. Multiple options can be specified, but they all must appear as part of a single customize directive.

[ladar]

Adding a space between customize, and the opening "[" appears to fix the issue. If you don't want to wait for the next build, feel free to edit the ~/.vagrant.d/boxes/generic-VAGRANTSLASH-BOXNAME/1.8.14/parallels/Vagrantfile file directly. Just replace BOXNAME with the distro in question. Please reopen if the issue resurfaces.

The v1.2.24 build ran into issues with some of the other hypervisors, so you can expect a v1.2.26 build relatively soon. That said, the Parallels robot was the only one that managed to finish building all of its generic boxes. I tested the centos7 image and it's working fine. Sadly, my Parallels robot is an 8 year old Macbook Air, and to slow for me to check the resulting box images automatically, like I do with the VMWare, Virtualbox and libvirt images. (The Hyper-V robot is also a senior citizen). Long story short, if you run into more problems with the Parallels images, please let me know, and I'll take look, as I can't effectively test them all myself, with any frequency right now.
