Berkshelf version at "/usr/bin/berks" is invalid.

[LevonBecker]

I can't seem to get vagrant berkshelf plugin to work. I'm hoping it just something simple I'm missing and I can get a quick fix.

Ruby

I use RVM and running 2.1.5. I removed RVM completely and get the same error. I even installed Ubuntu base ruby2.0.

Vagrant up Error

The Berkshelf version at "/usr/bin/berks" is invalid.
Vagrant Berkshelf requires ~> 3.2, but the current version is .

Please download and install the latest version of the ChefDK from:

    https://downloads.chef.io/chef-dk

and follow the installation instructions. Do not forget to add the ChefDK to
your PATH.

/usr/bin/berks

The ChefDK binaries are in the path.

What is the output of

$ /usr/bin/berks -v

[LevonBecker]

# /usr/bin/berks -v
#<Proc:0x00000001ecb070@/opt/chefdk/embedded/lib/ruby/gems/2.1.0/gems/ridley-4.1.2/lib/ridley/chef/config.rb:50 (lambda)>

I'm actually digging into Kitchen to see if I can make it do what I do with Vagrant... Multi-VM Full stack in wrapper cookbook with multiple roles etc. Instana work with my shared_vagrant project if get these working, but probably good to get up to speed on Kitchen too. So win either way. Thanks for the help. I just keep wondering if the comment that is output every time I use a ChefDK binary is causing the version verification to fail with vagrant-berkshelf.

[sethvargo]

That comment is strange. Can you try purging chefdk?

[LevonBecker]

lol I'm tired. I removed and reinstalled. I even tried a couple older versions. Anything special when nuking it I could have missed? I"m guessing it works fine for you on Ubuntu 14.04 with all the latest / versions I listed?

[sethvargo]

@LevonBecker I run OS X, so I don't know. Make sure you are removing everything in /opt/chefdk and ~/.chefdk.

[hychen]

+1 has same issue on OS X 11.10.

I've tried purge chefsdk and vagrant, but still has same problem.

additional information

hychen@mluna:~|⇒  /usr/bin/berks -v
3.2.3

I had similar problem. I was able to download and install Chef DK from https://downloads.chef.io/chef-dk/mac/#/ Installed and was able to vagrant up.
Hope that helps anyone.
OS X 10.10.2

Make sure you set up your path such that the binary that get's called first is the berks in the chefdk location: That is, which berks should return /opt/chefdk/bin/berks

[mmell]

Did you try vagrant plugin update?

[reset]

@mmell is correct, you'll need to install a newer version of the ChefDK and update your plugin to match
