Error: Could not autoload /puppet/pops/binder/hiera2/json_backend: no such file to load -- json

I try to setup a Vagrant instance with a puphpet script and get the following error message:

Info: Loading facts in /etc/puppet/modules/git/lib/facter/git_exec_path.rb
Info: Loading facts in /etc/puppet/modules/git/lib/facter/git_version.rb
Error: Could not autoload /puppet/pops/binder/hiera2/json_backend: no such file to load -- json
Error: Could not autoload /puppet/pops/binder/hiera2/json_backend: no such file to load -- json on node devbox.local
Error: Could not autoload /puppet/pops/binder/hiera2/json_backend: no such file to load -- json on node devbox.local
The following SSH command responded with a non-zero exit status.
Vagrant assumes that this means the command failed!

Does anybody as a hint what might be wrong? Thanks a lot for the help!!!

Solution

  • Try adding "gem install json" before "gem install librarian-puppet" in the file {vagrant path}/puphpet/shell/librarian-puppet-vagrant.sh (probably somewhere around line 72)

    I was having a similar issue and found the above solution at https://github.com/puphpet/puphpet/issues/455. My issue had nothing to do with the proxy stuff mentioned there, however the json errors were similar to mine. Seems to work for me.
