I'm using a local VM with a Vagrantfile similar to the following:

Vagrant.configure(VAGRANTFILE_API_VERSION) do |config|



  config.vm.define "dev", primary: true do |dev|

    dev.vm.box = "venmo/platform-development"

    dev.vm.box_version = '<= 2.17.2'

    dev.vm.network "private_network", ip: "192.168.33.11"



    dev.vm.provision "install_python_requirements", type: "shell",

      inline: "/app/venmo_platform/current/script/install_python_requirements.sh",

      privileged: false



    dev.vm.synced_folder "/Users/kupeek/dev/vm-site-packages", "/app/shared/virtualenvs/venmo_platform27/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages"



    end

  end

end

where the install_python_requirements.sh file is

#!/usr/bin/env bash



REQUIREMENTS_FILE='/app/venmo_platform/current/requirements.txt'



export ADD_GHE_KEYS=false

/app/venmo_platform/current/script/install_python_requirements.sh "${REQUIREMENTS_FILE}"



if [[ "${DEPLOYMENT_GROUP_NAME}" == *-test-user-management-api-platform-group ]]; then

    CLEAR_DIR='/app/shared/virtualenvs/venmo_platform27/build'

    DEV_REQUIREMENTS_FILE='/app/venmo_platform/current/dev_requirements.txt'



    # need to clear out the build dir to prevent conflicts with previous installations

    sudo rm -rf "${CLEAR_DIR}"

    sudo mkdir "${CLEAR_DIR}"

    sudo chown ubuntu:ubuntu "${CLEAR_DIR}"

    sudo chmod 777 "${CLEAR_DIR}"



    # install dev dependencies so that test user management API can import venmo_tests/factories.py

    "${PIP}" install -r "${DEV_REQUIREMENTS_FILE}"

fi

When running Python tests in the VM, I occasionally run into errors like this:

   Traceback (most recent call last):

    /app/shared/virtualenvs/venmo_platform27/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/mock/mock.py line 1305 in patched

      return func(*args, **keywargs)

    venmo_tests/communication/services/test_notification_service.py line 53 in test_custom_push_message

      send_push_to_user_mock.assert_called()

    /app/shared/virtualenvs/venmo_platform27/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/mock/mock.py line 906 in assert_called

      raise AssertionError(msg)

   AssertionError: Expected 'send_push_to_user' to have been called.

This error is being raised by pip-installed packages located in /app/shared/virtualenvs/venmo_platform27/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages, hence I would like to sync this to my local environment so that the virtualenv gets copied over and I can set a trace in it to debug the problem, similar to what I'm used to doing with 'ordinary' virtualenvs.

The problem is that this directory is not getting synced, it is empty:

LM-SJN-21018636:vm-site-packages kupeek$ pwd

/Users/kupeek/dev/vm-site-packages

LM-SJN-21018636:vm-site-packages kupeek$ ls

LM-SJN-21018636:vm-site-packages kupeek$ 

Am I not following the docs (https://www.vagrantup.com/docs/synced-folders/basic_usage.html) properly? (I've run vagrant reload after attempting to add the synced folder).

You can use NFS to sync folders. The following example will sync the local directory where your Vagrantfile is with the /vagrant directory in your VM:

config.vm.synced_folder '.', '/vagrant', nfs: true

Your machine must have nfsd installed as a prerequisite.
