The box 'oraclelinux/7' could not be found for the OracleRAC project

[pguerin3]

Describe the issue When I start Vagrant in the Oracle Linux 7 project (~/vagrant-projects/OracleLinux/7) there are no problems :

me@192-168-1-103 ~/v/O/7 (main)> vagrant up --provider=virtualbox
==> vagrant: Loading environment from .env files
==> vagrant: Getting Proxy Configuration from Host...

==> ol7-vagrant: Successfully added box 'oraclelinux/7' (v7.9.324) for 'virtualbox'!
==> ol7-vagrant: Importing base box 'oraclelinux/7'...

And the import continues, and completes successfully.

Do the same thing for the Oracle RAC project (~/vagrant-projects/OracleRAC), and I get the error "The box 'oraclelinux/7' could not be found":

me@192-168-1-103 ~/v/OracleRAC (main)> vagrant up --provider=virtualbox

The box 'oraclelinux/7' could not be found or
could not be accessed in the remote catalog. If this is a private
box on HashiCorp's Vagrant Cloud, please verify you're logged in via
`vagrant login`. Also, please double-check the name. The expanded
URL and error message are shown below:

URL: ["https://vagrantcloud.com/oraclelinux/7"]
Error: The requested URL returned error: 404

Environment:

• Host OS: Fedora 35
• Kernel version (for Linux host): 5.15.11-200.fc35.x86_64
• Vagrant version: 2.2.16
• Vagrant provider:
  • For VirtualBox:
  • VirtualBox version: 6.1.32r149290
• Vagrant project: ~/vagrant-projects/OracleRAC

The front README of the project mentions this:

Ensure you have the correct metadata URL in your Vagrantfile:
BOX_URL = "https://oracle.github.io/vagrant-projects/boxes"

Remove your local copy of the box -- E.g. for oraclelinux/7:
vagrant box remove --all oraclelinux/7

So I have tried various combinations of this in the Vagrantfile, but the error continues.

Two workarounds:

1. issue : vagrant box add --provider virtualbox https://oracle.github.io/vagrant-projects/boxes/oraclelinux/7.json then as on as the "oraclelinux/7" has been imported you can proceed with "vagrant up" command to setup OracleRAC
2. Uncomment (this looks a typo) line 391 on Vagrantfile " config.vm.box_url = var_url"

Workaround#1 has worked. Thank you.

Had the same problem with OL8. I used workaround #2 which worked fine as well. Thanks.
