Hello KodeKloud Community,

I’m currently facing an issue with syncing folders between my host (Windows 10) and guest (CentOS 7) VM using Vagrant, and I need some assistance. I’ve been following the Jenkins Pipelines course and want to edit files on my host in VS Code with them syncing to the VM, but it’s not working as expected.

Here’s what I’ve done so far:

  • Updated my Vagrantfile to include config.vm.synced_folder "C:/Users/User/Documents/Vagrant/jenkins_pipeline", "/home/vagrant/jenkins_pipeline".
  • Created the jenkins_pipeline folder on my host at C:\Users\User\Documents\Vagrant\jenkins_pipeline.
  • Ran vagrant reload to apply the changes.
  • Attempted to use the vagrant-vbguest plugin to install VirtualBox Guest Additions, but I encountered an error (see attached image).

The error output from vagrant vbguest indicates “No VirtualBox Guest Additions installation found” and a NoMethodError for an undefined method exists?. Despite this, the jenkins_pipeline folder isn’t appearing in /home/vagrant on the VM, even though the host folder exists.

I’d appreciate guidance on:

  • Resolving the vagrant-vbguest error.
  • Confirming Guest Additions are installed correctly.
  • Ensuring the synced folder works between host and guest.

Attached is the screenshot of the vagrant vbguest output for reference. Thank you in advance for your help!
