An error occurred while installing vagrant-bindfs (0.4.11)

Versions 0.4.10 and 0.4.11 can only be installed in Vagrant > 1.7.4?

Hello,

Since vagrant-bindfs 0.4.10, the gem specification file include explicit requirements for Rubygems > 1.3.6 (as required by Vagrant since 2010) and Ruby > 2.2 (as required for Vagrant >= 1.8.5).

As these are not real requirements for vagrant-bindfs, I can soften them but why not update vagrant ?

@gael-ian having issues with vagrant 1.8.7 currently, this would also make it compatible with older versions just in case projects need to be vagrant version specific for any reason. Could be unreasonable, but here is some context. https://github.com/mitchellh/vagrant/issues/8003.

Thanks

I downgraded the requirement to Ruby > 2.0.0. This will make the plugin compatible with all versions of Vagrant published since ~ April 2014.

Thanks for reporting

I am running Vagrant 1.8.7 (latest version).

Installing vagrant-bindfs version 0.4.12 (latest) it fails with:

When I manually install the previous version (said broken) it works:

@gael-ian In order for the latest version to work on latest vagrant (which requires ruby >2.2) you need to change vagrant-bindfs.gemspec with:

required_ruby_version = ">= 2.0"

If that's the minimum version.

Here where the problems began.

Hi renan,

This is the same exact diagnostic, workaround and cure as discussed in #56. I will be able to fix this in a few days.

Sorry for the inconvenience and thanks for contributing
