Boxes are never recognized as up

[ramondelafuente]

I updated to Vagrant Manager version 1.4.1 just now, but that still has the same issue.

[chriswayoub]

Thanks for reporting this issue. Can you run this command in your terminal:

vboxmanage list runningvms

And find the UUID of your machine (it will be the string in between { and } next to the appropriate machine). Then run this command in your terminal:

vboxmanage showvminfo PUT_UUID_HERE --machinereadable

Replacing PUT_UUID_HERE with the UUID from the previous step.

If you can send over the output from that second command, that should help.

[ramondelafuente]

I think I might see a problem. I run on a case sensitive file-system, and the official binary is "VBoxManage", not "vboxmanage".

$ vboxmanage list runningvms
-bash: vboxmanage: command not found

$ VBoxManage list runningvms
"machine_name" {GUID}

[chriswayoub]

That's a good catch. We'll get an update pushed out ASAP.

[chriswayoub]

Can you check if release 1.4.2 solves your issue?

[ramondelafuente]

Unfortunately: no

[chriswayoub]

Thanks for the info, we are looking into this issue again.

[chriswayoub]

What method are you using for folder sharing (NFS, rsync, etc). Also, here is a link to a debug build that should generate a vagrant-manager-TIMESTAMP.log file in your Documents folder:
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/st3a5y6q09w1ddx/AAB1pIeFk3pgBu2sYMaZsTCja

We have been unable to recreate this issue, so could you run this build and email the log file to: [email protected]? I would not recommend using this build permanently since it will continue to generate large log files.

[tcsehv]

I have the same issue.

OS X 10.9.2

Virtualbox 4.3.10

vboxmanage list runningvms
"protobox-php53" {33a07309-c057-4b81-a414-0cab4118ba7c}

[tcsehv]

I ran the debug version and it gave me this:

I have the issue also:

VirtualBox 4.3.8

[robjmills]

Just using standard synced folders, like:

config.vm.synced_folder "~/Clones/", "/home"
config.vm.synced_folder "./data", "/data" 

Tried the debug build, and tried adding a bookmark while it was running with this output:

[nightmare-rg]

I updated from Vagrant 1.5 to Vagrant 1.6.1 and vagrantmanager detect no vm as running. With Vagrant 1.5 everything works.

[robjmills]

Interesting, a recent ticket #8 (comment) mentions the new vagrant global-status command in 1.6. When I run this on my machine I get the following output:

id       name   provider state  directory                           
--------------------------------------------------------------------
There are no active Vagrant environments on this computer! Or,
you haven't destroyed and recreated Vagrant environments that were
started with an older version of Vagrant.

I wonder if this highlights the issue we're all having here - old vagrant boxes?

[ramondelafuente]

I think not, as the new vagrant global-status is not yet used in this version.

Nevertheless, I just recreated the box; it now shows up in global-status but I still never see it as "up" in vagrant manage.

[ramondelafuente]

Ok, W00T, I now have one running box. Does Vagrant Manage rely on the virtualbox guest additions? Because I solved an issue with that and suddenly the new box showed up.

[robjmills]

@ramondelafuente what issue did you solve?

[ramondelafuente]

When I destroyed the box, a new basebox was used because that was updated in the meantime. The new basebox could not be started because of a missing symlink to the Virtualbox Guest additions on the guest (a problem we created, we make our own baseboxes).

I took two steps:

1. I changed the /vagrant share to type: "nfs". I could now start the box, but not see it in Vagrant Manage.
2. I fixed the missing symlink and started the box with the default /vagrant share, and now the box shows up in Vagrant Manage.

[ramondelafuente]

Hmm - there seems to be a lag between starting boxes and seeing them in the list; perhaps I am barking up the wrong tree with the Guest additions.

I now have two working boxes, where it took a full minute to see it as "running" in Vagrant Manage after starting the box. But it does work now. I will try destroying and re-creating more boxes later tonight.

[chriswayoub]

Vagrant Manager does rely on the "/vagrant" folder mapping to tell the difference between Vagrant machines vs other VirtualBox machines. For NFS machines, it checks the /etc/exports file since they do not have a "/vagrant" folder mapping. This issue may be related to that, but it looks like the output of VBoxManage posted by some users has the correct folder mappings, but the machines are still not showing up. I've built another debug build that will output more information to help troubleshoot this issue.

https://www.dropbox.com/sh/3jv9l71tz8nvo2h/AABZDhsL-wLwGiV2UQWNQ_sba

If you can run that debug version of Vagrant Manager, a file should appear in your Documents folder called vagrant-manager-TIMESTAMP.log (TIMESTAMP will be a string of numbers). Send that file to [email protected], or post it on pastebin.com or something similar, rather than posting it here since it will be a pretty long file. That should help to narrow down what is causing this issue.

We are planning on taking advantage of the new global-status command available in Vagrant 1.6, but we would still like to be able to support older Vagrant versions, so I'm interested in getting to the bottom of what is happening here.

[amitailanciano]

I've put together a test build that should address this issue, please download https://www.dropbox.com/s/px33c220zotd0k6/Vagrant%20Manager%201.4.3%20BETA.app.zip and post your results

[mikebell]

Not having any luck with the latest beta version, I also don't have the log file in my Documents folder, does this build have any of the output?

[chriswayoub]

@mikebell
@ramondelafuente
@nightmare-rg
@robjmills
@peternijssen
@Jan0707
@tcsehv

We have a new build that will hopefully resolve all of the issues in this thread. Can you guys try this build and let us know the results?

https://www.dropbox.com/sh/09soyrkhhj87hvh/AAC2xspJWhxbq8wwENoaHGGYa

[Jan0707]

Download link does not work for me. It returns a *.app.zip file which cannot be unarchived ..?

[tcsehv]

I think I found the problem. I don't use /vagrant as a mount point for the shared folders. The beta build doesn't solve it.

[amitailanciano]

this issue has been fixed by release 1.4.3 (269a17b)

@tcsehv that is on our roadmap to address

[peternijssen]

I still have the problem with 1.4.3 :(

Edit: I downloaded the above build to see if I could get some debugging info. However, renaming the file from .zip to .app leads to the fact that I get a message that I cannot use the classic environment.

[chriswayoub]

Send an email to [email protected] if you'd like to troubleshoot this issue offline. I can put together a debug build for you and send it there if necessary.

[bhanu-prakashl]

i have the issue like this below and vagrant up doesn't work....
There are no active Vagrant environments on this computer! Or,
you haven't destroyed and recreated Vagrant environments that were
started with an older version of Vagrant.

is there any version compatibility issues ?
