Vagrant: Enhancement Request: Support Ruby 2.5 or higher

[bitfactory-henno-schooljan]

On March 31st, version 1.18 of the async-io gem has been released which is used as a dependency trhough async-dns for DNS plugins like vagrant-dns. It now requires at least Ruby 2.5, so it does no longer install because Vagrant uses its own Ruby version which is older.

This will only start happening more when time goes on, so It would be nice if Vagrant supports a newer version soon.

Hi there,

Thanks for opening an issue with Vagrant! We've got good news -- the next Vagrant release (v2.2.8) will include Ruby 2.6.5 or higher. That should resolve the issue you're seeing currently.

Cheers and have a great day! :smile:

Hi @jbonhag :)
What's the ETA of v2.2.8?

Until 2.2.8 is released, I was able to work around this by swapping out the ruby binary included with the vagrant install (/opt/vagrant/embedded/bin/ruby on OSX) with a newer version.
