`vagrant plugin update` causing `nokogiri` complaint after updating vagrant to 1.6.2

Question

Just updated to vagrant 1.6.2

Ran vagrant up and got the following error

Vagrant failed to initialize at a very early stage:

The plugins failed to load properly. The error message given is shown below.

undefined method `[]' for nil:NilClass

I ran vagrant up --debug and saw the following error message

ERROR vagrant: Vagrant experienced an error! Details:
ERROR vagrant: #<Vagrant::Errors::PluginLoadError: The plugins failed to load properly.     The error message given is shown below.

undefined method `[]' for nil:NilClass>
ERROR vagrant: The plugins failed to load properly. The error message given is shown below.

undefined method `[]' for nil:NilClass

I then tried

vagrant plugin update

This produced the following complaint

Bundler, the underlying system Vagrant uses to install plugins, reported an error. The error is shown below. These errors are usually caused by misconfigured plugin installations or transient network issues. The error from Bundler is:

An error occurred while installing nokogiri (1.6.2.1), and Bundler cannot continue. Make sure that `gem install nokogiri -v '1.6.2.1'` succeeds before bundling.

So I ran

gem install nokogiri -v '1.6.2.1'

And this succeeded.

But it didn't solve the problem...

When I now run

vagrant plugin update

I still get the same error I got before installing nokogiri.

Anyone have a solution for this?

Answer 1

Ok. I solved the problem for me at least.

I uninstalled vagrant 1.6.2 and installed vagrant 1.6.1

This is a Vagrant issue and is being tracked in https://github.com/mitchellh/vagrant/issues/3769.
