VVV, custom site url redirecting to dashboard

Question

I've just installed and setup VVV with Vagrant and Virtual Box, everything at the base level is working perfectly.

I've tried adding a custom site, as per their example, but when I navigate to the custom sites' URL(vvvtest.dev) I get sent to the VVV dashboard instead of the WP install process for the new site.

I'm using vagrant-hostsupdater so the hosts file is getting populated for me as well as vagrant-triggers.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

EDIT: I've noticed in my hosts file that vvvtest.dev is pointing to the same location(sim link?) as vvv and vvv.dev, see screenshot. Where have I gone wrong during config ?

My vvv-custom.yml file stored in the main folder (vagrant-local):

sites:
  # The wordpress-default configuration provides a default installation of the
  # latest version of WordPress.
  wordpress-default:
    repo: https://github.com/Varying-Vagrant-Vagrants/vvv-wordpress-default.git
    hosts:
      - local.wordpress.dev

  # The wordpress-develop configuration is useful for contributing to WordPress.
  wordpress-develop:
    repo: https://github.com/Varying-Vagrant-Vagrants/vvv-wordpress-develop.git
    hosts:
      - src.wordpress-develop.dev
      - build.wordpress-develop.dev

  # Custom Install Test
  vvvtest:
    hosts:
      - vvvtest.dev    

  # The following commented out site configuration will create a standard WordPress
  # site in www/example-site/ available at http://my-example-site.dev.

  #example-site:
  #  repo: https://github.com/Varying-Vagrant-Vagrants/custom-site-template.git
  #  hosts:

  # The following commented out site configuration will create a environment useful

My nginx.conf file stored in www/vvvtest/provision:

  set $upstream {upstream};

  include /etc/nginx/nginx-wp-common.conf;

My vvv-init.sh file, stored in www/vvvtest/provision

#!/usr/bin/env bash

In your www/vvvtest/provision/nginx.conf file, maybe you can try to revise the directory of root to:

  root {vvv_path_to_site}/public_html;

Hope it helps.
