[dev] [jira] [Commented] (LIBCLOUD-277) Support VMWare Workstation/Fusion/Player for local testing

["John Carr (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LIBCLOUD-277?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13543559#comment-13543559 ] 

John Carr commented on LIBCLOUD-277:
------------------------------------

I've put an initial patch here:

https://github.com/Jc2k/libcloud/compare/vmware

It's still a work in progress, but it has test coverage. It uses the vmrun command line tool and does not introduce any new dependencies. It adds a new subprocess helper that logs stdout and stderr to LIBCLOUD_DEBUG. In the future it can be expanded to connect to remote hosts via extra arguments to vmrun. I plan to also add VirtualBox support using the same approach (via VBoxManage).
