Don’t you just love Ruby errors … like the one below ?
Don’t they almost make Java stack traces look readable ?
57 lines of jibberish … where all I wanted to read was “VirtualBox in error state, check gui”
People like Randall Hanssen deserve much more visibility .. they do understand how to write a good error message and there are lots of projects that need improvement there.
Anywhow… vagrant had suddenly stopped working on me with the error below
Turned out that I had deleted some unused Virtualbox images , not from the VirtualBox gui and therefore Virtualbox didn’t want to play nice ..
Upon starting the VirtualBox gui and cleaning up the images there , everything started working again ..
But the error wasn’t really helpfull ..
