Error: Could not autoload /puppet/pops/binder/hiera2/json_backend: no such file to load -- json

Question

I try to setup a Vagrant instance with a puphpet script and get the following error message:

Info: Loading facts in /etc/puppet/modules/git/lib/facter/git_exec_path.rb
Info: Loading facts in /etc/puppet/modules/git/lib/facter/git_version.rb
Error: Could not autoload /puppet/pops/binder/hiera2/json_backend: no such file to load -- json
Error: Could not autoload /puppet/pops/binder/hiera2/json_backend: no such file to load -- json on node devbox.local
Error: Could not autoload /puppet/pops/binder/hiera2/json_backend: no such file to load -- json on node devbox.local
The following SSH command responded with a non-zero exit status.
Vagrant assumes that this means the command failed!

Does anybody as a hint what might be wrong? Thanks a lot for the help!!!

Answer 1

Try adding "gem install json" before "gem install librarian-puppet" in the file {vagrant path}/puphpet/shell/librarian-puppet-vagrant.sh (probably somewhere around line 72)

I was having a similar issue and found the above solution at https://github.com/puphpet/puphpet/issues/455. My issue had nothing to do with the proxy stuff mentioned there, however the json errors were similar to mine. Seems to work for me.

I've updated Vagrant to 1.4.3 and I'm starting to get the same error, so it's possible it's a bug that's only appeared in the latest revision. Not sure how you would roll back to 1.3.5, remove and re-install?
