vagrant-lxc fails to start when run from test-kitchen

Question

I'm trying to use LXC to run test-kitchen. When I use following .kitchen.yml

driver:
  name: vagrant

provisioner:
  name: chef_solo
platforms:
   - name: ubuntu-12.04
     driver:
       box: precise-lxc
       provider: lxc

kitchen-converge fails with following output:

>>>>>> ------Exception-------
>>>>>> Class: Kitchen::ActionFailed
>>>>>> Message: Failed to complete #create action: [Expected process to exit with [0], but received '1'
---- Begin output of vagrant up --no-provision --provider=lxc ----
STDOUT: 
STDERR: The `lxc` package does not seem to be installed or is not accessible on the PATH.
---- End output of vagrant up --no-provision --provider=lxc ----
Ran vagrant up --no-provision --provider=lxc returned 1]
>>>>>> ----------------------
>>>>>> Please see .kitchen/logs/kitchen.log for more details
>>>>>> Also try running `kitchen diagnose --all` for configuration

I can successfully run sudo which lxc-create, I have changed my user to 'NOPASSWD' in /etc/sudoers. If I run vagrant up in .kitchen/kitchen-vagrant/default-ubuntu-1204 VM starts normally, I can vagrant ssh into it and can see it running with lxc-ls on host system.

I have tried to dive into vagrant-lxc code and commented out temporarily ensure_lxc_installed! call in lib/vagrant-lxc/provider.rb. kitchen converge failed with following message:

-----> Starting Kitchen (v1.2.1)

Answer 1

I have replaced sudo_wrapper call to 'which lxc-create' in plugin source with simple puts sudo which lxc-create and got output telling me that sudo requires tty. Commenting out line 'Defaults requiretty' in /etc/sudoers solved this problem.
