# go-virtualbox This is a wrapper package for Golang to interact with VirtualBox. The API is experimental at the moment and you should expect frequent changes. There is no compatibility guarantee between newer and older versions of Virtualbox. **Table of Contents** <!-- TOC depthFrom:2 depthTo:4 --> 1. [Status](#status) 2. [Usage](#usage) 1.

To see the local documentation, run `godoc -http=:6060 &` and then `open http://localhost:6060/pkg/github.com/terra-farm/go-virtualbox/`. ## Building First install dependencies - [GoLang](https://golang.org/doc/install#install) - [GNU Make](https://www.gnu.org/software/make/) (Windows: via `choco install -y gnuwin32-make.portable) Get Go dependencies: `make deps` or: ```bash $ go get -v github.com/golang/dep/cmd/dep $ dep ensure -v ``` Then build: `make build` or: ```bash $ go build -v ./... ``` * `default` run everything in order * `deps` install dependencies (`dep` and others) * `build` run `go build ./...` * `test` run `go test ./...` * `lint` only run `gometalinter` linter ## Testing ### Preparation Tests run using mocked interfaces, unless the `TEST_VM` environment variable is set, in order to test against real VirtualBox. You either need to have a pre-provisioned VirtualBox VM and to set its name using the `TEST_VM` environment variable, or use [Vagrant](https://www.vagrantup.com/intro/getting-started/). ```bash $ vagrant box add bento/ubuntu-16.04 # select virtualbox as provider $ vagrant up ``` Then run the tests ```bash $ export TEST_VM=go-virtualbox $ go test ``` ...or (on Windows): ```shell > set TEST_VM=go-virtualbox > go test ``` Once you are done with testing, run `vagrant halt` to same resources. ### Run tests As usual, run `go test`, or `go test -v`. To run one test in particular, run `go test --run TestGuestProperty`. ### Re-generate mock ```bash go generate ./... ``` ## Using local changes with your own project If you have a project which depends on this library, you probably want to test your local changes of `go-virtualbox` in your project. See [this article](https://medium.com/@teivah/how-to-test-a-local-branch-with-go-mod-54df087fc9cc) on how to set up your environment to do this.
