Getting undefined method `chomp' for nil error

[Gaston]

Hi Vagrants!!

I am experiencing an issue which reproduces randomly (once every few deployments).

Looks like Vagrant tries to SSH connect to the new VM unsuccessfully.

Take into account that the problem reproduces for VMs created from boxes that already succeeded to deploy and connect in the past on top of the same vCloud Director.

I am using Vagrant 1.7.4 deploying using the the vcloud plugin.

When I try to connect the same VM manually (after the failure) using the password, I successfully login the VM.

Any clue what's going on? Is this s timing issue? Is there any retry parameter which can be increased?

Hello,

It seems is trying to chomp a variable that is not yet defined.

Not sure if should ask password at all, so I would suggest open an
issue with the plugin repo?

Thanks
