vagrant-vbguest/hosts/virtualbox.rb typo error

Debug output

/usr/share/vagrant/gems/gems/vagrant-vbguest-0.32.0/lib/vagrant-vbguest/hosts/virtualbox.rb:84:in `block in guess_local_iso': undefined method `exists?' for class File (NoMethodError)

            path && File.exists?(path)
                        ^^^^^^^^

Expected behavior

Vagrant up bring up a vm

Actual behavior

vagrant fails bringing up a vm when is trying to update vbguest

Reproduction information

Vagrant version

Vagrant 2.3.7

Host operating system

opensuse tumbleweed VERSION=20240521

Guest operating system

Centos7 (a box of)

Steps to reproduce

So i fixed it by editing the file /usr/share/vagrant/gems/gems/vagrant-vbguest-0.32.0/lib/vagrant-vbguest/hosts/virtualbox.rb:

def guess_local_iso
          Array(platform_path).find do |path|
-             path && File.exists?(path)
+            path && File.exist?(path)
          end
        end

The NoMethodError give me the clue. And the ^^^^^ :-) Is easy to fix but it is annoying anyway.

Works on my machine (Ubuntu 24.04, Vagrant 2.4.2, VirtualBox 7.0.16)!

I can confirm that this behavior reproduces with Vagrant 2.4.3, during a vagrant up operation, when it tries to install the Guest Additions for VirtualBox 7.0.22:

==> default: Checking for guest additions in VM...
    default: The guest additions on this VM do not match the installed version of
    default: VirtualBox! In most cases this is fine, but in rare cases it can
    default: prevent things such as shared folders from working properly. If you see
    default: shared folder errors, please make sure the guest additions within the
    default: virtual machine match the version of VirtualBox you have installed on
    default: your host and reload your VM.

I suppose this means that we cannot use Vagrant 2.4.3 or higher (and I think 2.4.2 either) with this vbguest plugin any longer, unless we edit the plugin's code (to remove the "exists" call)?

[Stromweld]

This isn't a vagrant issue this is a deprecated call that is now removed from newer ruby 3.x versions. This essentially is a bug in the plugin and since the owner has archived the repo for the plugin I don't see it getting fixed anytime soon. you'll have to either fork it and update the plugin yourself or use someone else's fork that fixed it like @dangra mentioned he created a few comments back.

[dangra]

Just to clarify, the fork isn't mine but @dheerapat's who I don't know. I checked his fork and the commits were sane as of today.

My approach to ship the fix for my dev environment is to compile the gem and distribute it along the Vagrantfile like in:

# vagrant-vbguest plugin workaround for https://github.com/dotless-de/vagrant-vbguest/issues/332
ENV["VAGRANT_DISABLE_STRICT_DEPENDENCY_ENFORCEMENT"] = "1"

Vagrant.configure('2') do |config|
  # the official vagrant-vbguest plugin was archived, it fails to run on ruby 3.2+.
  # The gem referenced here was compiled from https://github.com/dheerapat/vagrant-vbguest
  config.vagrant.plugins = {
    'vagrant-vbguest' => {
      'sources' =>[
        'vagrant-vbguest-0.32.1.gem',
        'https://rubygems.org/', # needed but used
      ],
    }
  }
  # ... the rest of your vagrant file
end

dheerapat/vagrant-vbguest works for me with:

• Linux Mint 22 (based on Ubuntu noble)
• Vagrant 2.4.3 (apt install, brew install is broken)
• VirtualBox 7.0.22
• vagrant-vbguest (0.32.1) built with Ruby 3.3.6
