vmware-workstation-plugin won't load

[Daniel Solano Gómez]

Hello,

I purchased a vmware-workstation-plugin license last week, but I haven't been able to get it to load.  It appears that the plugin and license install without problems, but whenever I actually try to use it, I get a big warning telling me that Vagrant can't load the plugin.  The logs look about identical to not having the license installed, so I am guessing it's not loading the license.  I e-mailed Hashicorp support, but they haven't gotten back to me.  I'd appreciate any help in finding out what's wrong.  Here's the log that produced when trying to initialise a VM:

Hi,

I'll just respond here: Both of you have installations of Vagrant outside of binary Vagrant installer. For example, Jonathan, your install is in "/opt/boxen".

The providers only work with the installers provided on the Vagrant site: http://www.vagrantup.com

This error message I think makes it clear: "Encoded files can't be read outside of the Vagrant installer."

Best,

Mitchell

Hi Mitchell,

That was it exactly. Thanks for clarifying! As a rubyist, I did note that the rubygem was way out of date that installed from rubygems but did not make the connection that there was a downloadable installer from the website. So instead, I built it from source. :) This is my fault due to quickly skimming the vagrant site.

Cheers,

 Jonathan

Hi,

I'm having a similar issue. I agree that the message makes the "problem" clear indeed... but not the solution. At least not to me :o(
I'm afraid I need to ask for a few more details.

I installed the plugin with 'vagrant plugin install vagrant-vmware-workstation'
'vagrant plugin list' indeed lists the plugin and shows no error.
Then 'vagrant init hashicorp/precise32' already triggers the error...

Here are the points that are not clear to me. I hope someone may shed some light or point me in the right direction:
- What's the 'Vagrant installer' ?
- Where is the plugin supposed to go ? For now it lies somewhere in ~/.vagrant.d/ can I just move it somewhere else ?
- what's the use case for 'vagrant plugin install xxx' if it does not install things where they are supposed to go ? When should I use it ans when should I avoid using it ?
- If there is no easy solution, then what am I missing to get past this problem ? Would you advise me to learn more about Ruby or more about Vagrant ?

Thanks for your help.

[Shawn McCarthy]

Lionel, did you download and install vagrant from vagrantup.com ? Or did you check out the source and build/install it manually? Or did you just do : gem install vagrant ? If you installed Vagrant from the vagrantup.com installer, you should use "vagrant plugin install" to install your plugins. If you installed vagrant by checking out the source and build/install it manually, you need to use another method to install plugins I believe.

[Lionel VICTOR]

Hi,

Thanks for your answer!

I'm not a Rubyist, so I chose what I hoped the easy way: 'apt-get install vagrant'. Ubuntu then left me with Vagrant 1.4.3...

I checked this version against the proposed download on www.vagrantup.com and realised it was pretty old.

So I downloaded and installed the .deb file from www.vagrantup.com, cleared things in ~/.vagrant.d (just in case) and now I'm getting a message about purchasing the license so I'm assuming that it works !

Thanks for the tip !

I'm not seeing where you applied the license for the vmware plugin.

Hi,

If you refer to something like 'vagrant plugin license xxx', then I did not run it...

... and I'll anticipate the next question : "why ?"... That's because I do not have a license (hopefully!)

When I first read the vmware provider plugin doc, I saw something about licensing fees but though that it was referring to the fact that vmware isn't free, not the plugin itself. As a vmware user I though I'd give this provider a try instead of the proposed VirtualBox... Now, I'm not so sure...

I followed Shawn's advice to install the latest vagrant version from vagrantup.com. I assume that the new setup should work because vagrant no longer complains when it loads its plugins (including the vmware plugin).

I must confess that vagrant got stuck because I do not have a license, and I had to remove the plugin from the list in ~/.vagrant.d to return to normal behaviour.

I won't insist so much with vmware because:

1. I'm not a paypal user... don't really want to open an account for the plugin

2. the little glitches when setting up vagrant and the plugin got me cold feet

3. my vmware version is so old/deprecated/patched that I can predict more troubles ahead

4. I was just testing: I don't *need* vmware... (I just like it better)

Thanks a lot for your help though

Vagrant is free but the vmware plugin is not. You can easily use vagrant with virtualbox and pay nothing. Also, the vmware plugin only works with vmware workstation or vmware fusion, both of which are not free.

If you just want to try out vagrant and see the power of it, I would suggest you install VirtualBox and use that with vagrant.

[Umair Chagani]

Also, I'd like to mention that you don't need paypal to buy a license. I bought it using my American Express directly without PayPal.

[Matthew Versaggi]

So exactly how does one fix that situation?

I assume it's because I used apt-get install to install Vagrant on linux when I should have used the linux binary from the site. Do I then reinstall vagrant from the binary procured from the site?

Hello,

You should use the packaged from the formal Download site, and use the
default path, yes.
