vagrant up --provision Vagrant failed to initialize at a very early stage:

There was an error loading a Vagrantfile. The file being loaded and the error message are shown below. This is usually caused by a syntax error.

Path: /drupal/Vagrantfile Line number: 0 Message: ArgumentError: Malformed version number string [core

Summary

vagrant up --provision is failing and throwing the above error.

Vagrantfile content: `

The absolute path to the root directory of the project. Both Drupal VM and the config file need to be contained within this path.

ENV['DRUPALVM_PROJECT_ROOT'] = "#{dir}"

The relative path from the project root to the config directory where you placed your config.yml file.

ENV['DRUPALVM_CONFIG_DIR'] = "box"

The relative path from the project root to the directory where Drupal VM is located.

ENV['DRUPALVM_DIR'] = "vendor/geerlingguy/drupal-vm"

Load the real Vagrantfile

load "#{dir}/#{ENV['DRUPALVM_DIR']}/Vagrantfile" `

This is a duplicate of #2166, and has been fixed in the latest release of DrupalVM (6.0.4 at time of writing).

Thanks,

I have updated my Drupal VM from 5.0 to 6.0.4 and the vagrant up --provision is working.

I am upgrading the PHP version from 7.3 to 7.4 and now vagrant up --provision is failing and throwing the below error

TASK [geerlingguy.php : Ensure PHP packages are installed.] **** fatal: [drupalvm]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "msg": "No package matching 'php7.4' is available"}

PLAY RECAP ***** drupalvm : ok=73 changed=19 unreachable=0 failed=1 skipped=69 rescued=0 ignored=0

Ansible failed to complete successfully. Any error output should be visible above. Please fix these errors and try again.

@chunesh if you are changing php versions you should run vagrant destroy before vagrant up. Note this will delete all your data. The changing of PHP versions can be pretty complicated so its usually easier to start from scratch in that case

For anyone else that comes here with the error below:

TASK [geerlingguy.php : Ensure PHP packages are installed.] ********************
fatal: [drupalvm]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "msg": "No package matching 'php7.4' is available"}

I was having the same issue re-provisioning my local VM to use php7.4, and even trying to re-prevision after a vagrant destroy just using php7.3. Some digging revealed that this was due to the dropping of support for Ubuntu 16.04:

https://www.patreon.com/posts/ubuntu-16-04-lts-52120358

To resolve this I had to make the following adjustments in my box/config.yml file:

# Old version
vagrant_box: geerlingguy/ubuntu1604
php_version: "7.3"
php_xdebug_version: 2.7.0

# After changes
vagrant_box: geerlingguy/ubuntu1804
php_version: "7.4"
php_xdebug_version: 3.0.4

Depending on what additional extras you have installed you may need to bump some additional versions on those extras to be compatible with php7.4, but based on the experience I had the errors presented in provisioning give good enough bread crumbs to identify those relatively easily.
