not sure why I'm having this issue but I can't add vagrant boxes.
Using windows 10, tried on powershell and simple command prompt. same issue. It's a relatively fresh install of windows. Maybe I'm missing some required package?
first i tried this command:
vagrant box add hashicorp/precise32
and got the error:
The box 'hashicorp/precise32' could not be found or
could not be accessed in the remote catalog. If this is a private
box on HashiCorp's Atlas, please verify you're logged in via
`vagrant login`. Also, please double-check the name. The expanded
URL and error message are shown below:
URL: ["https://atlas.hashicorp.com/hashicorp/precise32"]
Error:
So I downloaded the box manually and tried this:
vagrant box add base64 file:///D:/downloads/vagrant_boxes/precise64.box
And got this error again:
==> box: Box file was not detected as metadata. Adding it directly...
==> box: Adding box 'base64' (v0) for provider:
box: Unpacking necessary files from: file:///D:/downloads/vagrant_boxes/precise64.box
box:
An error occurred while downloading the remote file. The error
message, if any, is reproduced below. Please fix this error and try
again.
I was using vagrant v1.8.0 when this happened. Later that day vagrant v1.8.1 was released. I didn't try that, instead I shifted back to v1.7.4 and the issue was gone.
