Bundler, the underlying system Vagrant uses to install plugins,

reported an error. The error is shown below. These errors are usually

caused by misconfigured plugin installations or transient network

issues. The error from Bundler is:

chef-zero requires Ruby version >= 2.3.1.

My ruby version is 2.4.1p111 but vagrant looking only to its embedded folder. I also installed rvm and able to switch between environments but it didn't help to.

I have bundler 1.14.6 also installed. I tried different methods that I found in the internet but nothing helped me.

Can someone explain how to install chef plugin for Vagrant 1.9.3 or force vagrant to use system ruby (I think it will help).

Thanks a lot,

Macs

Hello

couple of clarifications.

when you run vagrant plugin install, you are using the ruby embedded with vagrant.

when you want to install a vagrant plugin, they usually have vagrant-<name>, ie vagrant-share

vagrant plugin install vagrant-share

the above command will install a gem that is a vagrant plugin, so its expected to install and work.

What you are doing in your command is, installing the chef gem that is not a vagrant plugin, therefore the error.

You shouldn't be doing that.

What do you want to do?

If you want to provision with chef inside the guest vm, you don't need that. Vagrant (the software) knows how to run chef commands.

What you need is chef (the client) installed on the guest (the vm)

Hope this helps to clarify.

Alvaro.

Hi Avlaro,

thanks for your reply. I understood my mistake - I used "chef" provisioner instead of "chef-client". That is why I went via wrong way of finding "chef" plugin.

Best regards,

Maks

Hello!

Not a problem.

Feel free to share a minimal github repo or vagrant file for people coming in the future, so they can see how this looks.

Thanks!

Alvaro.

Hi,

I'm using vagrant version 1.9.4 (Have to run this version to match specifications for cookbook specified version for chef).

Host operating system

macOS High Sierra (10.13.4)

Guest operating system

Ubuntu 14.04

Expected behavior

Should install the plugin vagrant-librarian-chef using vagrant plugin install vagrant-librarian-chef

Actual behavior

Gives the following error,

Bundler, the underlying system Vagrant uses to install plugins,

reported an error. The error is shown below. These errors are usually

caused by misconfigured plugin installations or transient network

issues. The error from Bundler is:

chef-zero requires Ruby version >= 2.3.1.

References

#9388, #8948
Update: Using their technique of uninstalling and re-installing from the installer package, does not seem to work (installer package is of the same vagrant version of 1.9.4)

Hello

Plugin may have their own requirements

So you may have to use a different version of the plugin.

I will suggest with the plugin maintainer to confirm that.

vagrant-librarian-chef

WARNING: This project is no longer maintained. You should use Berkshelf instead.
