Vagrant fails to initialize "Unable to find binary extension"

[Ian Robert Douglas]

Hi,

Setup:

Vagrant 1.8.1

Virtualbox 5.0.12

OSX 10.11.2

I’m getting the following error on the command "vagrant up"

Vagrant failed to initialize at a very early stage:

The plugins failed to load properly. The error message given is

shown below.

Unable to find binary extension, was hitimes installed correctly?

I did some searching and tried installing, sequentially, versions 1.2.1 and 1.2.3 of hitimes. Originally, it was not on my system, but before Vagrant 1.8.1 I never saw this error.

Currently version 1.2.3 of hitimes is installed, but the error remains.

I tried downgrading to Vagrant 1.7.4, and the error goes away.

Does anyone have any guidance on how to resolve this?

I’m a novice user and struggling.

Thanks,

ian

To answer my own question, the problem was the Landrush plugin.

I went through my list of plugins, disabling one at a time and running the vagrant command from Terminal. Disabling Landrush restored normal functionality. Oddly, I was able to reinstall Landrush and Vagrant still works.

So for anyone seeing a similar error, try looking at your plugins. Disabling and even reinstalling may resolve a similar error.
