VALKYRIE-DRUSH-ALIASES

This 'faux' plugin for Vagrant allows for Drush aliases to be generated in the VM to be cleanly ignored when the VM is no longer available; having been halted, destroyed, etc. Simply add it to your project (perhaps as a git submodule), and include it in your Vagrantfile like so:

ENV['VALKYRIE_PROJECT_PATH'] = File.dirname(File.expand_path(__FILE__))
require_relative "drush-aliases.rb"

Background

Drush aliases are great, but if they point to sites hosted on a Vagrant VM that has been suspended (or otherwise unavailable), errors will result. Worse still, if you are using the same aliases for sites hosted on more than one Vagrant VM, your aliases will end up pointing at the wrong IP/hostname, leading to behaviour that is difficult to diagnose.
