GuestAdditions 4.3.28 running --- OK. ==> default: Checking for guest additions in VM... ==> default: Setting hostname... ==> default: Configuring and enabling network interfaces... ==> default: Mounting shared folders... default: /vagrant => /Users/gonzo/Workspace/aaaa-chef default: /opt/aaaa/current => /Users/gonzo/Workspace/aaaa-chef/workspace/aaaa ==> default: Chef 12.4.0 Omnibus package is already installed. ==> default: Running provisioner: chef_solo... ==> default: Detected Chef (latest) is already installed Shared folders that Chef requires are missing on the virtual machine. This is usually due to configuration changing after already booting the machine. The fix is to run a `vagrant reload` so that the proper shared folders will be prepared and mounted on the VM.
After more digging, I’ve found that a VM already experiencing this issue can be fixed by removing the “synced_folders” file (a cache, I presume) and reloading the VM:
rm .vagrant/machines/default/virtualbox/synced_folders
vagrant reload
Not ideal, but better than destroying the VM and initialising from scratch
