Vagrant Windows-1251 encoding error

I got the next error with vagrant when trying to use "vagrant up" command:

Bringing machine 'default' up with 'virtualbox' provider...
==> default: Importing base box 'precise32'...
C:/HashiCorp/Vagrant/embedded/gems/gems/childprocess-0.5.3/lib/childprocess/wind
ows/process_builder.rb:43:in `join': incompatible character encodings: Windows-1
251 and UTF-8 (Encoding::CompatibilityError)

I have Windows 8.1, and I used "chcp 1251" command before, because it was the same error with "ibm866" encoding.

Thanks!

If you stil having some trouble with it, even after seting env variable, try just to move your "homestead" folder to a path that not contains any cyrilic symbols. Or you can create another user in you system without cyrilc Hope it helps!

  1. Set an environtment variable VAGRANT_HOME to the path, for example 'c:\HashiCorp'

  2. Then add to c:\HashiCorp\Vagrant\embedded\gems\gems\vagrant-1.6.3\bin\vagrant after #!/usr/bin/env ruby these two lines:

Encoding.default_external = Encoding.find('Windows-1251')

Encoding.default_internal = Encoding.find('Windows-1251')

Notice Windows-1251, not Windows-1250.

And I think you might need to reboot to enable the environment variable.

the solution for me was this one .

You have to go to : c:\HashiCorp\Vagrant\embedded\gems\gems\vagrant-1.6.3\bin\vagrant

And edit the vagrant (file) and put after this : #!/usr/bin/env ruby

this 2 lines

Encoding.default_external = Encoding.find('Windows-1250')
Encoding.default_internal = Encoding.find('Windows-1250')

Good luck!

Yes, setting environment variable VAGRANT_HOME can solve the problem.

I think it's mainly because vagrant up command would try to visit %userprofile%\.vagrant.d folder, however, your %userprofile% is named in Windows 1251 encoding. Setting VAGRANT_HOME can point to a path recognizable for vagrant's ruby script.
