Я ахуел пока искал решение, короче надо сделать vagrant destroy Если не помогло, надо сделать

Check if they exist and verify that they're the correct paths as shown below.

$ ls ~/.vagrant.d/gems/*/vagrant-vmware-{fusion,workstation} ...

Remove them

$ rm -rf ~/.vagrant.d/gems/*/vagrant-vmware-{fusion,workstation}

I tried all the possible ways, like removing vagrant applications, all the gems and ruby binaries still the same issue :(

The same error here. I mean I'm struggle with vagrant on M1 Max for 2 days now. I manage to run qemu only but that damn provider doesn't allow me create multiple network interfaces. So I decided to go with VMware fusion. Installed VMware-Fusion-13.6.0-24238079_universal then those VMware Utilities from https://releases.hashicorp.com/vagrant-vmware-utility/1.0.23/vagrant-vmware-utility_1.0.23_darwin_arm64.dmg and of course vagrant-vmware-desktop (3.0.4, global) plugin for vagrant.

Vagrant.configure("2") do |config| 
  config.vm.box = "generic/debian12" # choose a box type for your requirement
  config.vm.box_check_update = false
  config.vm.provider "vmware_desktop" do |vmware|
  vmware.gui = false
  vmware.allowlist_verified = true
end
end

And I get VAGRANT_DEFAULT_PROVIDER=vmware_desktop

❯ vagrant up

Constantly. I mean seriously? This is how it's gonna work on ARM processors ?

== Update I manage to install it by removing vagrant-vmware-utility that was installed from dmg file that I downloaded here https://developer.hashicorp.com/vagrant/install/vmware And trying to install it using brew . Although the above site doesn't really explain how to install utility using brew.

Instead this

brew tap hashicorp/tap
brew install hashicorp/tap/hashicorp-vagrant

use

brew install vagrant-vmware-utility Then I didn't get this error. BUT (It couldn't be easy of course :) ) Im having another one which is a bullshit btw

❯ vagrant up
Bringing machine 'default' up with 'vmware_desktop' provider...
==> default: Verifying vmnet devices are healthy...
==> default: Preparing network adapters...
==> default: Starting the VMware VM...
An error occurred causing VMware to cancel the current operation. Details
of the error causing the cancelation:

This virtual machine cannot be powered on because it requires the X86 machine architecture, which is incompatible with this Arm machine architecture host. See KB-84273.

Wait what? I have VMware Utility & Vagrant for ARM64. launching only specific images from vagrant box on arm64 and VMware provider https://portal.cloud.hashicorp.com/vagrant/discover?architectures=arm64&providers=vmware&query=

what should i do in order to resolve this issue.

Stromweld commented 1 month ago

essentially this is a bad error message and something is causing the service to stop. Start it back up and it should work again. Long term fix for the service would be nice though.
