> I get the following error message when starting the CDK Server Adapter on MacOSX (DevStudio was started from the dock, not from CLI):
> {code}
> The provider 'virtualbox' that was requested to back the machine
> 'default' is reporting that it isn't usable on this system. The
> reason is shown below:
> Vagrant could not detect VirtualBox! Make sure VirtualBox is properly installed.
> Vagrant uses the `VBoxManage` binary that ships with VirtualBox, and requires
> this to be available on the PATH. If VirtualBox is installed, please find the
> `VBoxManage` binary and add it to the PATH environmental variable.
> {code}
> when starting DevStudio from CLI, it inherits from the terminal PATH and then it works.
> We had a similar issue in Docker tooling ('docker-machine' needs to be in the PATH, as well as 'VBoxManage' or any other VM driver) so we ended up adding some preferences to set the correct path.
> That might be interesting to see how the Docker tooling, the Vagrant tooling and the CDK tooling could use the same preferences.
