Using Vagrant for Rails Development Discussion

Trying to install the librarian-chef plugin first produces an error about not being able to find the vmware-workstation plugin (or rather gem). Installing the vbguest plugin first fixed the issue.

Awesome post! I had a ton of trouble installing the plugins, though. In case anyone else has the same issue, where installing plugins fails and you see a bunch of stuff about nokogiri, let me save you some Googling. Just see https://github.com/mitchell... for the cure!

Nice and simple, great tutorial. Any idea how I can do this behind a proxy (that requires auth).... I live in a corporate environment :(

Perhaps I'm missing something, but is there a reason you didn't include Rails in the Cheffile?

I'm stuck at this part when I run 'vagrant up'. I'm on Windows Environment.. Help?

This is interesting. I use VMware's Workstation for my vm, but haven't tried these tools. So are you suggesting a different vm for each dev/production project, and this is the quick way to set up the environment for each? I've just been running a bunch of projects in one vm. Reasons I shouldn't do that?

I have been trying to figure out how vagrant works for a few hours. Just bumped into your article. This was very helpful and well explained. Thanks! I will be modifying the Chef portion to use http://phlippers.net/chef-p..., but other than that it was spot on for me.

Thanks. Keep it up.

I failed at step first: setup vagrant plugins. Here is an error i get:

Thanks for wanting to use Vagrant! Unfortunately, this is not the way
to install Vagrant anymore. We now make installers for the various operating
systems Vagrant supports.
Vagrant is no longer distributed as a RubyGem. Please download the latest
version for your operating system from the URL below. If you still wish
to use the RubyGem version, you can manually install version 1.0.7. Note that
the RubyGem version hasn't been updated in over a year and will no longer
receive any updates.

Prior to installing Vagrant using the installer, make sure you uninstall
all your Vagrant gems, since they sometimes conflict.

Nice article. Will you consider to add docker for this tutorials?

So there's a nasty gotcha if you're using Windows 8.1, which I believe is tied to having installed the Windows Phone dev tools - this will enabled Hyper-V by default which will silently ruin any attempts you make to run a x64 VirtualBox VM, or so I've experienced. I just had SSH time out, and then a black screen when I attempted to boot with GUI.

This post details a way to get around that: https://www.hanselman.com/b...

Not ideal, I might see if I can get this to use a x86 machine instead, if possible, and be sure to test on a x64 before production.

If you don't actually do any WP development, you can alternatively uninstall the Hyper-V components from your system, and be problem free.

Thanks for posting this Chris. I got all the way to the end and when I run `rails server` I get this error:

vagrant@vagrant-ubuntu-trusty-64:/vagrant$ rails server
The program 'rails' can be found in the following packages:
* ruby-railties-3.2
* ruby-railties-4.0
Ask your administrator to install one of them

I ran `rbenv rehash` and then tried `rails server` again and everything works!

One other thing I learned through working this post: I have vmware_fusion as a Vagrant provider plugin, so I need to specify virtualbox when I `vagrant up --provider=virtualbox`

Great article!

I've added a port forward to my host 3306 to 23360 in the vagrant file so I can access MySQL using Toad. I had to manually grant `root`@`%` privileges in mysql in order for that to work. Can I chnage the chef.json to do that automatically?

If this is your first time setting up rails with vagrant or you don't have any rails app, you need to installl rail gem 'gem install rails' and make rails executable 'rbenv rehash' before run 'rails server'. to check your rails is installed, run 'rails -v'

One gotcha worth pointing out here that I got stung by: there's a bug in the current upgrade of Vagrant. Apparently several: https://www.vagrantup.com/b.... So if you're already using vagrant, it's best to uninstall it and install fresh which fixed things for me. I also upgraded VirtualBox but this was straightforward.

Hi,

FYI, I was getting the following error this morning:

NoMethodError: mysql_service[default] (mysql::server line 20) had an error: NoMethodError: undefined method `sensitive' for Chef::Resource::Execute

Apparently, this bug was introduced with the latest version of the mysql cookbook (v5.5.4 as of today).

If this ever happens to anyone, you can just specify the previous version in the Cheffile as follows:

cookbook 'apt'
cookbook 'build-essential'
cookbook 'mysql', '5.5.3'
...
cookbook 'vim'

After this, I just entered the vagrant provision command and everything worked like a charm.

Cheers.

This
vagrant plugin install vagrant-librarian-chef

fails on my machine. I have posted full details on stackoverflow(http://stackoverflow.com/qu...

hope to get some solution from you guys.

I have a question about this line in the Vagrantfile:

mysql: {
server_root_password: ''
}

does this mean that this setup doesn't work with Postgres?

greetings,

Anthony

I followed the instructions in this tutorial and everything ran successfully. Then I ran the 'vagrant up' and 'vagrant ssh' command. However, I don't seem to have a /vagrant directory. I have a .vagrant directory with in it a 'machines' directory.
Am I missing something?

I just ran into an issue with Launchy, which won't open a page in the browser, when on a virtual machine:

Failure/Error: save_and_open_page
Launchy::CommandNotFoundError:

not being able open a page in the browser when testing with Capybara is kind of a show stopper for me : (

Thanks in advance!!!

..just in case someone, run into this error:

undefined method `rbenv_rehash' for #<chef::provider::package::rbenvrubygems:0x000000049c8340>

Here's the solution:
Change the 'rbenv' line in the Cheffile:

`
cookbook 'rbenv', git: 'https://github.com/RayMangu...
`

Explanation:

I'm new to rails too, and I thought it's a rbenv / chef related problem,

then I found this in Github:

https://github.com/RayMangu...

It seems the chef-rbenv is out of date. And, the newest fork is the RayMangum's one.

This is a good guide:-) But after I run `vagrant up`, I got these errors:

...except Vagrant-librarian-chef doesn't work on Windows 7 (at least it didn't work for me) causing me to have to look elsewhere to get Rails up and running

I am getting to the point with the number of apps that I work on and the diversity of environments that I need to maintain that Brew and RVM alone no longer cut it. I was hoping that the combination of Vagrant, VirtualBox, Librarian, and Chef would be the answer, but I've been struggling with these steps over the last week to setup VMs for two different projects and I'm about ready to give up and look elsewhere.

The main issue is that I keep running into conflicts/errors in the Chef recipes. It took me the better part of 3 days to successfully provision a VM using this method with Postgres 8 and PostGIS 1.5. Granted those are both deprecated versions , but that's what I needed for one particular project that we maintain. You state towards the end of the article that I should be able to just run `vagrant provision` if I change the Vagrantfile or the Cheffile and it will reprovision the box, but it's been my experience that once I run `vagrant up` the Chef recipes won't run again until I destroy the VM and start over. If I try to reprovision it just tells me that the server is already setup and Chef never runs again. Since each fresh start takes anywhere from 45 minutes to an hour and a half, that all adds up when I have to keep starting over every time there's a new error.

In my last attempt I ran into a bug with Ubuntu 14 and Chef 12 (https://github.com/opscode/... that took me a while to figure out. Since there's no way (that I've found) to specify what version of Chef gets installed on the VM during provisioning, the only way around it was to downgrade to Ubuntu 12 instead.

And now I'm stuck trying to get the default MySQL recipe to run but it keeps telling me "You must supply a name when declaring a package resource", and I see no way to do that in the instructions for the MySQL cookbook.

I've never had much luck with Chef in general. I generally just need to setup very simple servers, and Chef seems like too much overhead for that task. The alternative of setting things up manually is just as tedious though, so I'm at a crossroads.

It looks like nodejs-cookbook is deprecated, here's what the readme says:
Important notice: this repository has been deprecated and the development of the nodejs cookbook has been moved here: https://github.com/redguide...

If you do not need chef, this will work in 5 minutes ;)
https://github.com/rails/ra...
and it is, unlike this tutorial, up-to-date!

I also had to specify a version for mysql, but after I did that it worked perfect.

When I use vagrant up, it puts me in the user directory "~", and I can run ruby -v and get the correct output. However, when I cd to /vagrant, and run ruby -v it says "rbenv: version `ruby-1.9.3-p551' is not installed". Why can't I use the ruby command outside of the user directory with this setup?

Finally a working cookbook for rbenv:

cookbook 'rbenv', git: 'https://github.com/john-tel...

Finally a working cookbook for rbenv:
cookbook 'rbenv', git: 'https://github.com/john-tel...

why such tutorials always ends when the most important part begins? Am I supposed to install my dev tools on guest (it may not be full blown ide, I think that configured vim still counts), or still use it on my host? If tools still should be on host, how did you debug your app?

Hello there! after installing the bundler, I'm getting an error message that
"Bundler::GemfileNotFound"
thanks in advance!

Chris, great tutorial. Thanks. Got me up and running quick. Question for you though. If I wanted to add java, git, nginx, and others, I would include their cookbook in Cheffile, then config in vagrantfile, correct?

So do I have to run virtualbox and vagrant in production server as well?

Hi, everything works great except for bundler is not getting installed when the vm is provisioned. I navigate to my directory and then run bundle install and get this message:

The program 'bundle' is currently not installed. To run 'bundle' please ask your administrator to install the package 'bundler'

I modified the following from the Vagrantfile listed in this tutorial to use ruby 2.1.3 and added docker to pull and run redis:

# Install Ruby 2.1.3 and Bundler

# Set an empty root password for MySQL to make things simple

chef.json = {

rbenv: {

user_installs: [{

user: 'vagrant',

rubies: ["2.1.3"],

global: "2.1.3",

gems: {

"2.1.3" => [

{ name: "bundler" }

]

}

}]

},

mysql: {

server_root_password: ''

}

}

end

config.vm.provision "docker" do |d|

d.pull_images "redis"

d.run "redis"

end

end

-------------

Does anyone know why bundler isn't being installed and how to configure the vagrant file so that it does get installed? I've already tried rbenv rehash before running bundle install, and get the same "bundler not installed" message. This isn't the biggest issue, because I can run gem install bundler, but I'm attempting to automate the deployment process of our ruby dev environments as much as possible.. so finding the solution would be great!

Any help appreciated, thanks!

Mine loops through "Connection timeout...Retrying..."

Thanks. Really helpful vagrant tutorial

Thanks for sharing this information. I have not come across this issue while working on Rail development. But i hope this blog will help the one who are looking for this information.I have bookmarked this Blog.

everytime I try to run bundle, it says "Could not locate Gemfile or .bundle/ directory"
I've already made sure bundler was installed and rails 4.2, since i know some people were having problems with that, any idea whats wrong?

I'm getting this information when I put in the first comment. Is this still the way to use Vagrant with Ruby on Rails development?

:

Vagrant is no longer distributed as a RubyGem. Please download the latest

version for your operating system from the URL below. If you still wish

to use the RubyGem version, you can manually install version 1.0.7. Note that

the RubyGem version hasn't been updated in over a year and will no longer

Hi,

um just to be clear, the _code/landingpage_ folder is empty...?!

It is weird. When I ssh inti vagrant and run pwd I see `/home/vagrant` but when I run ls I don't see any files.If I run `ls /vagrant' I see all my files though that are being synced.

This boggled my mind for at least 4 or 5 hours.

If I `cd /vagrant` and `ls` I'll see all my files. But if I run `pwd` from there I am in `/vagrant`.

Is anyone else confused why vagrant would create a folder in my home folder `/home/vagrant` but actually sync with `/home`??

So happy now that I have figured this out!!! :D

Do I need to have rails set up on my main machine also for this to work? Everything seems fine until I run 'bundle' and it says, "The program 'bundle' is currently not installed..." - I see that someone else has this issue as well, but I don't see a workable solution. I'm just wondering if this is happening because I don't have rails installed on my windows machine. I was hoping I could avoid doing that for this solution.

Excuse me, why yesterday with "bin/rails s" with webrick (and also Puma) I can open the localhost:3000 and today (with nothing changed) I can't and have to start with "bin/rails s -b 0.0.0.0" ???

Hi thanks for the tutorial. I can't get bundle installed. I get this: Could not locate Gemfile or .bundle/ directory

Have anymore gotten this problem?

Runy

What I don't understand is this. If I'm making an app called testapp and then also work on another app called testapp2. Do I need to go in the /vagrant directory and then put there rails new testapp and rails new testapp2? So do these rails apps go IN the vagrant folder?

My set up is as follows:

I created a folder called railsprojects
I did vagrant init from within this folder railsprojects.

I had NO rails apps installed in this folder.

So I went to this folder railsprojects
Then I did vagrant up
And then vagrant ssh.

And now I want to start creating rails apps. I have many rails apps to create and they all use the same virtual machine.

In which folder should I run the rails new testapp comment?

Many thanks.

Runy

Where is my synced folder, I have created a project in vagrant, but I can not find in my local system, somebody help me please!!!.

Thanks for information.

But I want create in my local host a url as

http://api.test.com

how can I do this?

I m getting error like these. May be i miss something?

The box you're attempting to add doesn't support the provider
you requested. Please find an alternate box or use an alternate
provider. Double-check your requested provider to verify you didn't
simply misspell it.

If you're adding a box from HashiCorp's Atlas, make sure the box is
released.

Address: https://atlas.hashicorp.com...
Requested provider: ["vmware_desktop", "vmware_fusion", "vmware_workstation"]

Awesome tutorial!
Do the other developers on the same team who don't have Vagrant yet have to install plugins as well?

Can someone please clarify what the Vagrantfile should look like if you wanted rails to be installed automatically on vagrant up? :-) Thanks for the tutorial btw! I've got it up and running. I just want to be able to automate it further for future use and still have a bit to learn about Chef and Vagrant.

I followed the whole post and successfully configured everything. But when I've restarted the system and opened vagrant linux terminal in the folder and run following command 'cd /vagrant' & 'ls', I'm not able to see the files in the directory. It happened to me 3 times and every time I had to do all the process again copying all my progect files into other folder and all commands of vagrant, all updates of ubuntu and rails again every time. Someody please help why is the link between vagrant getting vanished once the system is restarted?

Hey Chris! As always my man! Thanks for another great screencast. After going through the tutorial notes, I couldn't get the server up and running. Then I checked out the video and you mentioned using 'rails server -b 0.0.0.0' to start the rails server and it worked. Might want to include that in the documentation

Also, there is another resource I found that might be helpful... https://railsbox.io/

Take care and thanks again...Best!

Thanks for your guide! I am kinda stuck though!

1. Right after the installation of Vagrant and then VB, what is the next step? I just opened a cmd and went from there. Didn't know what else to do.

2. Since I am in Windows 7 x64 I am getting the "'touch' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file." message. Any workarounds ?

Thanks

Edit for anyone wondering.

1. I am using Cygwin with some extra plugins to implement commands like top, diff and a few others. It is the best option when working in Windows and want to do simple stuff.

2. Using Cygwin I can use the touch command.
However since "touch" is not availiable in windows, this tutorial should instuct the user to use this command. So if you are having trouble in this step of the tutorial, when instructed to "touch Cheffile" simply create a file at the specific folder you are working on and name it Cheffile.

Thanks for this tutorial Chris. Works fine for me, but I've encountered 1 problem during `vagrant up` on my Windows 10 x64 Box:

%userprofile%/.vagrant.d/gems/gems/vagrant-vbguest-0.11.0/lib/vagrant-vbguest/download.rb:23:in `unlink': Permission denied @ unlink_internal - %userprofile%/.vagrant.d/tmp/VBoxGuestAdditions_5.0.10.iso (Errno::EACCES)

This post on stackoverflow help me to solve it http://stackoverflow.com/qu...

But I think that's just a "workaround" of some real problem that was reported here: https://github.com/refile/r... and here: https://openedx.atlassian.n... too.

I am getting the error "ERROR: You must specify at least one cookbook repo path". Will come back if I figure it out. The only changes I have made to Chris' code is making it Postgres instead of MySQL.

This might really become useful and really helpful for them to have especially that people might need to know on how are they going to use some certain kind of tools that will surely guide them with their work or will going to help them in promoting something for their work.

I'm getting this error after "vagrant up"

from C:/Users/JorgeAnzola/.vagrant.d/gems/gems/librarian-chef-nochef-0.2.0/lib/librarian/chef/source/site.rb:354:in `block in http_get'

folloewd by a bunch of code lines. Does any one knows how to solve it?

when "vagrant plugin install vagrant-librarian-chef-nochef", i get error "Could not find gem 'vagrant-librarian-chef-nochefvagrant (>= 0) ruby' in any of the gem sources listed in your Gemfile or available on this machine."

Even after I assign 0.0.0.0 I am still unable to get my localhost to work on chrome.

"This site can’t be reached

localhost refused to connect.
"

Make sure you use

chef.channel = "stable"

So you don't accidentally get an unstable build that doesn't work with your vagrant setup.

Following these instructions I've been hit with this error:

[2016-06-22T22:33:38+00:00] INFO: HTTP Request Returned 404 Not Found: Parent not found: chefzero://localhost:8889/nodes

The server returned a HTTP 404. This usually indicates that your chef_server_url is incorrect.

chef_server_url "chefzero://localhost:8889"

I'm very new to all this and not sure what would need changed to fix it?!

Any help/hand holding would be great!

How to change the Vagrantfile to install Ruby 2.3.1, which is not downloadable as a binary?

It's been awhile since this guide was posted. In an effort to help those that come across it, here's a link to a more modern Vagrantfile based off of this guide. Hope it helps.

https://github.com/realchri...

Also, the official Vagrant image for xenial64 doesn't include a 'vagrant' user. See https://bugs.launchpad.net/... for more info. There's a workaround in the Vagrantfile I linked to that references this bug.

Nice job. But if I change anything in Vagrant file (i.e. add docker, change default ruby version) I get this notice on subsequent
`vagrant up` commands.

*** ALERT *** If you want a simple vagrant install that is Rails 5, ruby 2.4, and postgres. WITHOUT ansible or Cheffile. Listen here.
While this post was great at some point, it no longer is helpful without doing some troubleshooting. (This guide gave me outdated dependencies and errors that drove me nuts). Download the rails-dev-box and follow their simple instructions. The shell script file does everything without spitting 100's of lines of code. It just works.

Once again, not hating on this guide, I just found a much simpler one.

I m new to this vagrant, i googled it but was not able to get the right answer to this problem
pls help

On Windows 10 I'm trying to install Rails on Vagrant on drive D:. After creating the Cheffile and Vagrantfile as directed, the 'vagrant up' command fails with error message: 'D:/vboxes/gems/2.3.4/gems/librarian-chef-nochef-0.2.0/lib/librarian/chef/source/site.rb:309:in `unpack_package!': The package archive has too many children! (RuntimeError)' followed by dozens more file and command errors.
There are a few online discussions - going back several years - about this 'too many children' Chef error. Some possible solutions are proposed, most beyond my technical know-how, and no definite resolution that I can see.
Can anyone point to a reliable answer?
