Can not install vagrant-parallels

[ahoiroman]

Unfortunately I can not install the parallels-plugin for vagrant on macOS Big Sur. xCode is installed.

Vagrant failed to properly resolve required dependencies. These
errors can commonly be caused by misconfigured plugin installations
or transient network issues. The reported error is:

ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

Hi @ahoiroman,

Unfortunately, the errors of building nokogiri (the dependency gem which we have to use to work with XML documents) are not related to vagrant-parallels directly. Usually, the root cause is on macOS / "XCode Command Line Tools" side. Did you check the content of this file?

  /Users/my-user/.vagrant.d/gems/2.6.6/extensions/x86_64-darwin-19/2.6.0/nokogiri-1.10.10/mkmf.log`

Also, it could make sense to upgrage macOS to the latest patch version and re-install "XCode Command Line Tools".

Hi @legal90

I am running latest macOS and reinstalled Xcode including CLI-Tools. The error is still present.

[aske-cph]

I am getting the exact same error on Big Sur - and also have Xcode installed properly.

Did you find a solution of this?

[legal90]

@aske-cph Unfortunately, not. That's most likely related to the nokogiri gem - the 3rd party dependency which we use to parse XML documents.

Did you check the log file mentioned in the error message? (like /Users/my-user/.vagrant.d/gems/2.6.6/extensions/x86_64-darwin-19/2.6.0/nokogiri-1.10.10/mkmf.log or similar ). Can you show it please? (uploading to Gist would be good)

[aske-cph]

Thanks for the attention, but i just found a solution!

You have to reinstall command line tools: xcode-select --install

Then you can install without errors.

The error was:

reinstalling using xcode-select --install did solve the problem here, too.
