vagrant init in Windows bash: Invalid argument - ruby_setenv (Errno::EINVAL)

[Dietrich Schulten]

Hi,

I try to get started with Vagrant under Windows 7 in Bash. I followed the Getting Started Guide and I try to run my first virtual machine with Virtual Box in bash. 

I've installed Virtual Box and the Virtualbox manager starts up. 

Also, in cmd I can run vagrant init hashicorp/precise32 and vagrant up afterwards (having set up our corporate proxy)

But I get this output in cygwin bash:

$ vagrant init hashicorp/precise32

C:/mystuff/Programme/Vagrant/embedded/gems/gems/vagrant-1.7.4/lib/vagrant/bundler.rb:74:in `[]=': Invalid argument - ruby_setenv (Errno::EINVAL)

        from C:/AZ_DATEN/Programme/Vagrant/embedded/gems/gems/vagrant-1.7.4/lib/vagrant/bundler.rb:74:in `init!'

        from C:/AZ_DATEN/Programme/Vagrant/embedded/gems/gems/vagrant-1.7.4/lib/vagrant/pre-rubygems.rb:23:in `<main>'

The same happens in Windows Git-Bash (Git for Windows 2.5.2-64)

What's amiss? Is it not possible to run vagrant from bash on Windows?

Best regards,

Dietrich

I should add that I use Vagrant 1.7.4 with VirtualBox 5.0.4.

[Alvaro Miranda Aguilera]

maybe it's having other ruby or programs in the path that are causing issues?

What's the output of:

vagrant version
vagrant plugin list

Then from a cmd.exe session
echo %PATH%

From a bash session
echo $PATH
which vagrant
which ruby

Thanks
alvaro.

Hi Alvaro,

See the answers to your questions below. Very thorough!

I see no ruby collision, maybe something else collides.

The Git for Windows version I am using is 

$ git --version

git version 2.5.2.windows.1

It has 

$ bash --version

GNU bash, version 4.3.42(2)-release (x86_64-pc-msys)

Hello,

Uhm it's looks good in terms of paths. the only known issue that I am aware are:

- spaces on the path for vagrant. This is a issue with some of the
gems, but you don't have spaces, so all good.
- not rebooting the computer after install

After the installation did you reboot? the installer ask for that
reboot.. a windows thing

If you haven't can you reboot?

If still doesn't work, can you reinstall vagrant, and reboot?

You need to install as your user

Thanks

I had the same issue with bash for windows (GNU bash, version 4.3.42(2)-release (x86_64-pc-msys)). The error I saw when I did a vagrant up was: 

Installing plugins: vagrant-proxyconf

        from C:/bench/tools/Vagrant/embedded/gems/gems/vagrant-1.8.1/bin/vagrant:71:in `<main>'

Installation of one or more plugins has failed. Aborting.

I got passed that error by using Windows Command Line instead (cmd.exe). And it worked there. So this could be an issue with bash for windows.
