How to start mailcatcher when booting vagrant box

Question

I need to start the mailcatcher as the vagrant up is done.

I tried setting provision for the vagrant machine

config.vm.provision "shell", inline: 'mailcatcher --ip=0.0.0.0'

But it says unidentified command mailcatcher

how is mail catcher installed? My guess is that it isn't in your path, so just locate it and call it via it's full path and you should be ok. — Doon, Jan 29 '15 at 13:53

MailCatcher has to be started via /usr/bin/env mailcatcherso

config.vm.provision "shell", inline: '/usr/bin/env mailcatcher --ip=0.0.0.0'

should work.

this isn't working for me. it says `no such file or directory` – Utkarsh Vishnoi May 22 '16 at 09:51
@UtkarshVishnoi it's been really long since i used mailcatcher and cagrant box too. But i think you should have mailcatcher installed in your system. – Alfie May 22 '16 at 18:04
Yeah i got it installed – Utkarsh Vishnoi May 22 '16 at 20:07
But i want it to be autostarted on `vagrant up` – Utkarsh Vishnoi May 22 '16 at 20:08
Line `--ip=0.0.0.0` saved my day – Francisco Quintero May 23 '16 at 21:51
I had to reload Vagrant with the --provision flag. i.e. vagrant reload --provision – Leon Nov 17 '18 at 12:48
