Vagrant how to get exit code from Windows command over SSH?

Question

I am using a Vagrant VM with Windows 7 for an automated build process.

If I SSH directly into Windows, I can see that %ERRORLEVEL% is being set:

$ vagrant ssh
> false
> echo %ERRORLEVEL%
1

However, if I send an SSH command to Windows directly, Vagrant does not use the exit code:

$ vagrant ssh -- cmd.exe /C 'false'
$ echo $?
0

Is there a way to pass the Windows %ERRORLEVEL% variable from the command executed via Vagrant SSH back to my host shell? I'm hoping that the solution doesn't involve redirecting the variable into a file.

Answer 1

what happens if you try:

vagrant ssh -- cmd.exe /C exit 1

just thinking cmd.exe /c is opening up a new command prompt and false is within that rather than returning anything outside like exit with value would!
