class Vagrant::Plugin::V1::Communicator
Base class for a communicator in Vagrant
. A communicator is responsible for communicating with a machine in some way. There are various stages of Vagrant
that require things such as uploading files to the machine, executing shell commands, etc. Implementors of this class are expected to provide this functionality in some way.
Note that a communicator must provide all of the methods in this base class. There is currently no way for one communicator to provide say a more efficient way of uploading a file, but not provide shell execution. This sort of thing will come in a future version.
Public Class Methods
This returns true/false depending on if the given machine can be communicated with using this communicator. If this returns ‘true`, then this class will be used as the primary communication method for the machine.
@return [Boolean]
# File lib/vagrant/plugin/v1/communicator.rb, line 23 def self.match?(machine) false end
Initializes the communicator with the machine that we will be communicating with. This base method does nothing (it doesn’t even store the machine in an instance variable for you), so you’re expected to override this and do something with the machine if you care about it.
@param [Machine] machine The machine this instance is expected to
communicate with.
# File lib/vagrant/plugin/v1/communicator.rb, line 35 def initialize(machine) end
Public Instance Methods
Download a file from the remote machine to the local machine.
@param [String] from Path of the file on the remote machine. @param [String] to Path of where to save the file locally.
# File lib/vagrant/plugin/v1/communicator.rb, line 51 def download(from, to) end
Execute a command on the remote machine. The exact semantics of this method are up to the implementor, but in general the users of this class will expect this to be a shell.
This method gives you no way to write data back to the remote machine, so only execute commands that don’t expect input.
@param [String] command Command
to execute. @yield [type, data] Realtime output of the command being executed. @yieldparam [String] type Type of the output. This can be
`:stdout`, `:stderr`, etc. The exact types are up to the implementor.
@yieldparam [String] data Data for the given output. @return [Integer] Exit code of the command.
# File lib/vagrant/plugin/v1/communicator.rb, line 76 def execute(command, opts=nil) end
Checks if the target machine is ready for communication. If this returns true, then all the other methods for communicating with the machine are expected to be functional.
@return [Boolean]
# File lib/vagrant/plugin/v1/communicator.rb, line 43 def ready? false end
Executes a command on the remote machine with administrative privileges. See {#execute} for documentation, as the API is the same.
@see execute
# File lib/vagrant/plugin/v1/communicator.rb, line 84 def sudo(command, opts=nil) end
Executes a command and returns true if the command succeeded, and false otherwise. By default, this executes as a normal user, and it is up to the communicator implementation if they expose an option for running tests as an administrator.
@see execute
# File lib/vagrant/plugin/v1/communicator.rb, line 93 def test(command, opts=nil) end
Upload a file to the remote machine.
@param [String] from Path of the file locally to upload. @param [String] to Path of where to save the file on the remote
machine.
# File lib/vagrant/plugin/v1/communicator.rb, line 59 def upload(from, to) end
