Can't install vagrant plugins in Ubuntu

I was trying to install vagrant plugin vbguest, but got following errors in terminal:

$ vagrant plugin install vbguest
Installing the 'vbguest' plugin. This can take a few minutes...
/usr/lib/ruby/2.3.0/rubygems/specification.rb:946:in `all=': undefined method `group_by' for nil:NilClass (NoMethodError)

I am using Virtual Box 5.0.18_Ubuntu r106667 and ruby 2.3.0p0. I also faced the same problem trying to install sahara plugin. How can I fix it?

updating ruby worked for me. Ubuntu 16.04. I followed this guide https://www.brightbox.com/blog/2017/04/25/updated-ruby-ubuntu-packages/

Because nobody seems to have mentioned it so far, here's the here's the bug report for Ubuntu 16.04: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vagrant/+bug/1562696

As of now, nobody backported the patch for 16.04, so it seems to have to either patch manually or download a fixed package.

This is fixed in the recent version of Vagrant, so please upgrade it.

If you can't, run this command to fix the problem:

sudo sed -i'' "s/Specification.all = nil/Specification.reset/" /usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/vagrant/bundler.rb

Note: The sudo permission is required or run without as a root.

This will patch your bundler.rb file as per PR (#7198).

You should also upgrade your bundler to at least 1.12.5 as per this vagrant PR (#7404):

sudo gem install bundler --version ">= 1.12.5"

Instead of patching, I fixed the issue using vagrant v1.8.0 in ubuntu 16.04:

  • Download package: wget https://releases.hashicorp.com/vagrant/1.8.0/vagrant_1.8.0_x86_64.deb
  • sudo dpkg -i vagrant_1.8.0_x86_64.deb
  • vagrant plugin install vagrant-vbguest

Keep an eye and upgrade to 1.8.2 when it's released... Enjoy!

Yes, there is an issue: https://github.com/mitchellh/vagrant/issues/7073 in Vagrant 1.8.1

PR with fix: https://github.com/mitchellh/vagrant/pull/7198

The fix should be released in Vagrant 1.8.2.

But until that you can patch it manually.

Here are the steps to fix Vagrant 1.8.1 under Ubuntu 16.04 which has ruby 2.3.0.

1.) Create file vagrant-plugin.patch with the following contents:

---
 lib/vagrant/bundler.rb | 3 ++-
 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-)

diff --git a/lib/vagrant/bundler.rb b/lib/vagrant/bundler.rb

+
       # Use a silent UI so that we have no output
       Gem::DefaultUserInteraction.use_ui(Gem::SilentUI.new) do
     return yield

2.) Apply patch: 

sudo patch --directory /usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/vagrant < vagrant-plugin.patch

which fixes /usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/vagrant/bundler.rb.
