Can't "vagrant up" vmware/photon: Missing capability "change_host_name"

[tehranian]

I'm using the Vagrantfile that @lamw posted at the following URL, minus the shared folder that points to /Users/lamw: http://www.virtuallyghetto.com/2015/06/quickly-getting-started-with-vmware-appcatalyst-appcatalyst-vagrant-plugin.html

Unfortunately vagrant up fails with:

Any errors that occurred are shown below.

An error occurred while executing the action on the 'gantry-test-1'
machine. Please handle this error then try again:

Vagrant attempted to execute the capability 'change_host_name'
on the detect guest OS 'linux', but the guest doesn't
support that capability. This capability is required for your
configuration of Vagrant. Please either reconfigure Vagrant to
avoid this capability or fix the issue by creating the capability.

FYI @lamw - If I remove the following line about setting the hostname, then vagrant up completes successfully.

     #  node_config.vm.hostname = node[:hostname]

Seems like a problem with the guest os you're trying to bring up, not the provider, if you're using the vmwae/photon box make sure you have the vagrant-guests-photon plugin installed (vagrant plugin install vagrant-guests-photon) or a Vagrant version compiled from master.

@frapposelli I can confirm by installing the Vagrant Photon plugin, hostnames are properly configured. Thanks for the tip and I've updated my article with this info + updated screenshot :)

Ah I was not aware that I needed to vagrant plugin install vagrant-guests-photon. I suppose you could close this as a documentation issue.

Thanks!
