vagrant up windows_10 hangs while installing Git
Summary
Running the following command hangs inside the VM while running the Git install:
vagrant up windows_10
Steps to reproduce
I followed the instructions from the development README on a MacOS system.
Actual behavior
Vagrant doesn't proceed with the script after the Git install command.
Expected behavior
I'd expect the Vagrantfile script to actually finish executing. The workaround I followed was to comment out running the Git installation in the Powershell script and instead run it later manually in the VM.
Relevant logs and/or screenshots

Possible fixes
I noticed that the log folder is not created when the Git setup is invoked. If I change Install-Git
to not pass the /LOG
argument, the Vagrant script completes successfully. However, if I precreate the log folder, the Go setup hangs.
Proposal
Migrate the provionsing script to use chocolatey instead to install all the dependencies. This would make our provisioning script much more portable and robust since we would leverage the Windows community to install the software.
