Hello, 

Thanks Brandon and Steve for your recommendations. Apologies as I was away but I'm testing these features now. My original goal was to edit a Vagrant box and make some changes (just add a Ruby script to execute during start up) but after reading, might be easier to keep this separate. 

Thanks again,

Robert

You can tell vagrant to use it's shell provisioner, but you'd likely need to provide a custom vagrantfile.erb (there's a parameter for that in the kitchen-vagrant driver).

The pre_create_command happens before the vagrant up, so that'd be something more for prepping your host environment (maybe staging sync'd folders or something).

Hey Robert,

I'm not sure what's in the script, but the `pre_create_command` option may be what you're looking for. I'm assuming you're using kitchen-vagrant.

Hello, 

I'm working on a simple Vagrant box with Test Kitchen and pretty sure this is a simple request. Is it possible to execute a script before kitchen converge? Maybe I'm not seeing this, but I checked the options from Test Kitchen. 

I really would like to stay away from customizing the box file if possible. 

Thanks,

Robert
