Description

Hi guys!

I was just trying to use the box here https://app.vagrantup.com/vmware/boxes/photon v4.0.2 by running the following commands:

vagrant init vmware/photon vagrant up

Which results in the following error:

Vagrant failed to initialize at a very early stage:

There was an error loading a Vagrantfile. The file being loaded
and the error message are shown below. This is usually caused by
a syntax error.

Path: <provider config: virtualbox>
Line number: 15
Message: NameError: undefined local variable or method `override' for main:Object

vagrant up --provider vmware_desktop, results in the same error.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Expected Behavior

When I execute:

vagrant init vmware/photon vagrant up

A new vagrant box with Photon OS is ready to use.

Actual Behavior

vagrant init vmware/photon vagrant up

Results in the following error:

Vagrant failed to initialize at a very early stage:

There was an error loading a Vagrantfile. The file being loaded
and the error message are shown below. This is usually caused by
a syntax error.

Path: <provider config: virtualbox>
Line number: 15
Message: NameError: undefined local variable or method `override' for main:Object

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Create a folder called "photon"
  2. Execute the following commands inside this folder:

vagrant init vmware/photon vagrant up

  1. You will get the following error:
Vagrant failed to initialize at a very early stage:

There was an error loading a Vagrantfile. The file being loaded
and the error message are shown below. This is usually caused by
a syntax error.

Path: <provider config: virtualbox>

Hi @epic-bunny, 👋

This project hasn't yet been tested on an Apple M1 chipset with the VMware Fusion TechPreview.

The upstream box does work on MacOS with Intel and Fusion 12.

A `Vagrantfile` has been placed in this directory. You are now

Once I have access to an M1 device, I'd be happy to take a look into the issue.

I've updated the description and added the enhancement label.

Unfortunately, it doesn't appear I'll have access to an M1 anytime soon. If you'd like to research and submit a pull request, contributions are welcomed.
