How to set up a Windows VM with Vagrant

Create your VM

==================

Obtain a windows vm from Modern IE.

Win 8 OSX

curl -O -L "https://www.modern.ie/vmdownload?platform=mac&virtPlatform=virtualbox&browserOS=IE10-Win8.1&parts=5&filename=VMBuild_20131127/VirtualBox/IE10_Win8/Mac/IE10.Win8.For.MacVirtualBox.part{1.sfx,2.rar,3.rar,4.rar,5.rar}"

Setup modern.ie vagrant boxes

Since modern.ie released vagrant boxes, it' no longer necessary to manually import the ova file to virtualbox, as mentioned here.

However, the guys at modern.ie didn't configured the box to work with WinRM. This how-to addresses that, presenting steps to proper repackage these boxes, adding WinRM support. Additionally configures chocolatey package manager and puppet provisioner.

Pre-requisites

Colours in terminal

It's a common confusion about terminal colours... Actually we have this:

plain ascii
ansi escape codes (16 colour codes with bold/italic and background)
256 colour palette (216 colours + 16 ansi + 24 gray) (colors are 24bit)
24bit true colour ("888" colours (aka 16 milion))

printf "\x1b[${bg};2;${red};${green};${blue}m\n"

Introduction

C-a == Ctrl-a
M-a == Alt-a

Disabling History Tracking

	/* Output is: div#a > span.red > ul#c.xyz.123.hello.goodbye */
	/* Can skip lower dom elements and truncate the class name list on each element */

	/* Mock Duck */
	var doc = {};
	var a = {nodeName: "DIV", id: "a", className: ""};
	var b = {nodeName: "SPAN", id: "", className: "red"};
	var c = {nodeName: "UL", id: "c", className: " xyz 123 hello goodbye"};

	c.parentNode = b;
