Error: Could not parse application options: invalid option: --manifestdir

• I have the latest Box ('puppetlabs/ubuntu-14.04-64-puppet)
• I have the latest stable Vagrant (1.7.4)
• and - that will impress you the most - I have no clue.

After calling vagrant provision I got this error: Error: Could not parse application options: invalid option: --manifestdir

After several minutes of googling this brought the solution (at least for me).

We may have to include it!?

config.vm.provision "shell", inline: <<-SHELL if [ ! -f /deb-get ]; then wget https://apt.puppetlabs.com/puppetlabs-release-trusty.deb && sudo touch /deb-get; fi if [ ! -f /deb-run ]; then sudo dpkg -i puppetlabs-release-trusty.deb && sudo touch /deb-run; fi if [ ! -f /apt-get-run ]; then sudo apt-get update && sudo touch /apt-get-run; fi if [ ! -f /apt-get-puppet ]; then sudo apt-get install --yes --force-yes puppet && sudo touch /apt-get-puppet; fi SHELL

Why are you using the puppetlabs basebox instead of ours? This is untested and we already install puppet from the puppetlabs repo when building our basebox.

We don't support other boxes (for now). Sorry.

Specifically we don't support puppet 4 which is the issue here
