What is the current behavior?

When I type into my Terminal vagrant up, it will echo a red error message, vagrant-hostmanager is missing.

What is the expected or desired behavior?

It should not give an error.

Bug report

(delete this section if not applicable)

Please provide steps to reproduce, including full log output:

I've simply followed the instructions in the docs: https://roots.io/trellis/docs/installing-trellis/

Please describe your local environment:

Ansible version: 2.1.0.0

OS: Ubuntu Desktop 16.04 64bit

Vagrant version: 1.8.1

Where did the bug happen? Development or remote servers?

I wrote vagrant up in the trellis root directory where the VagrantFile is located.

So you get this helpful error message:

vagrant-hostmanager missing, please install the plugin with this command:
vagrant plugin install vagrant-hostmanager

It tells you exactly what to do. Install the plugin by running this command: vagrant plugin install vagrant-hostmanager

[hintings]

@swalkinshaw I have done that already, it's part of trellis install instructions in the docs.
I also tried that again when I received the error message.

Please, open the issue again.

please don't use github for personal support.

[hintings]

@retlehs Why do say that it's personal support? It's an issue with Trellis

[swalkinshaw]

Trellis docs list all the requirements needed as the very first thing: https://roots.io/trellis/docs/installing-trellis/. vagrant-hostmanager is in that list.

You're also using an incompatible version of Ansible. Our docs contain the required version.

[hintings]

The Ansible version wasn't the problem.
I don't remember how I installed Vagrant anymore but it turned out that I needed v1.8.4
I also had to sudo apt-get install nfs-common nfs-kernel-server

[swalkinshaw]

@hintings we've had problems with 1.8.4 and even recommend 1.8.1 and less now. Maybe you just needed to re-install Vagrant.

[hintings]

@swalkinshaw well, that's really weird! Because I wasn't able to install any vagrant plugins until I updated to vagrant 1.8.4 instead of 1.8.1.

This isn't a Trellis issue. You should take this to the forums or report it upstream to the Vagrant guys if you think it's a bug with Vagrant. Regardless, it's not a bug on our end.
