Summary

After upgrading to Vagrant 2.2.14 (was on 2.2.10), I am getting this error from hostsupdater. I did a full expunge and reinstall, and it makes no difference.

I even printed out aliases as they are passed to hostsupdater, and that list in my case is:

["www.drupalvm.test", "adminer.drupalvm.test", "xhprof.drupalvm.test", "pimpmylog.drupalvm.test", "dashboard.drupalvm.test"]

Seems related: agiledivider/vagrant-hostsupdater#102

Not sure why this is happening now, though.

[geerlingguy]

Current workaround:

vagrant plugin uninstall vagrant-hostsupdater
vagrant plugin install vagrant-hostmanager

And override in local.config.yml:

vagrant_plugins:
  - name: vagrant-vbguest
  - name: vagrant-hostmanager

[geerlingguy]

Not sure where it comes from, but I'm going to move on for now and see if anyone else experiences the same issue.

Duplicate of #2110 which I closed this morning. I managed to fix the issue by uninstalling the latest version of vagrant and installing 2.2.0 and this fixed the issue so I think it's an issue with vagrant and not drupal-vm

[jplana-ubc]

After updating from MacOs Catalina to Big Sur, and Virtualbox and Vagrant I started receiving this error on provisioning.

The workaround of reinstalling vagrant-hostsupdater fixed the issue for me. Thank you.

[geerlingguy]

Thanks for the feedback; it's definitely not a drupal-vm issue, but since there are likely a substantial number of users it may affect, I want to document the issue here and see if we can find a better workaround :)

Hi @geerlingguy! I got the same error this morning. As a workaround I added implicit conversion to string of uuid -> uuid.to_s (~/.vagrant.d/gems/2.6.6/gems/vagrant-hostsupdater-1.1.1.160/lib/vagrant-hostsupdater/HostsUpdater.rb:126) and it worked

[geerlingguy]

@akarazeev - Great! I just posted agiledivider/vagrant-hostsupdater#188 and we'll see if that could get merged and released. It seems like maybe this happens, though, when the plugin is not getting a UUID from Vagrant—it looks like Vagrant itself could be looping through plugins before the VM is ready for the plugins to act on it :/

[cgsmith]

@akarazeev are you able to test the new release before I push it to RubyGems

[akarazeev]

@cgsmith @geerlingguy Thank you guys for quick reaction, the issue has gone after this hot fix ;) Have a nice day!

[geerlingguy]

@cgsmith - Can you hold a moment before releasing—I'm testing locally as well...
