bundler version restriction bundler (< 1.8.0, >= 1.5.2) ruby

[saifikhan]

Hi:
bundler install leads to bundler (< 1.8.0, >= 1.5.2) version restriction.

Bundler could not find compatible versions for gem "bundler":
In Gemfile:
vagrant (>= 0) ruby depends on
bundler (< 1.8.0, >= 1.5.2) ruby

Current Bundler version:
bundler (1.9.2)
This Gemfile requires a different version of Bundler.
Perhaps you need to update Bundler by running gem install bundler?
Could not find gem 'bundler (< 1.8.0, >= 1.5.2) ruby', which is required by gem 'vagrant (>= 0) ruby', in any of the sources.

What is the logic behind this restriction ?

I have the same issue, had to downgrade my bundler version in the rbenv I use.
It is just insane to have to prep a specific rbenv or rvm just for vagrant dev.

Hi @saifikhan

I am sorry you are having issues. The recommended way to use Vagrant is via the official package installers.

The reason for this restriction is because Vagrant relies on some internal APIs in Bundler core that are not guaranteed to be backwards-compatible between minor version bumps (because they are internal APIs). Plugins in the Vagrant eco-system also leverage those APIs. There is an open PR to upgrade to Bundler 1.8, but we have not had time to rigorously test the upgrade yet.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

@sethvargo, Yes, but if you are developing plugins, you really need to run vagrant in bundler, unless I missed something.

[sethvargo]

@gildas correct, you will need bundler and the Vagrant source. You need to install a version of bundler that matches the constraints for Vagrant:

gem install bundler -v '~> 1.7.0'

[gildas]

which is what I did. I was just saying, it's kinda annoying to do... a little...

[davidtrogers]

make sure you specify the patch version to stay within the bounds of the minor version:

$ gem install bundler -v '~> 1.7'
Fetching: bundler-1.9.4.gem (100%)
Successfully installed bundler-1.9.4
1 gem installed
$ bundler --version
Bundler version 1.9.4
$ gem install bundler -v '~> 1.7.0'
Fetching: bundler-1.7.14.gem (100%)
Successfully installed bundler-1.7.14
1 gem installed

Tried running it with bundler 1.7.15 on ruby 2.2.1 but got this stacktrace.

Guess there is a ruby / gems 2.2 incompatibility as well?

C:\Repos\_github\vagrant-toplevel-cookbooks>bundle install
Your Gemfile lists the gem vagrant-toplevel-cookbooks (>= 0) more than once.
You should probably keep only one of them.
While it's not a problem now, it could cause errors if you change the version of just one of them later.
