rbenv continually generating vagrant shim

Question

I am using the latest vagrant with rbenv and various rubies.

I am using the latest vagrant, which no longer uses a gem. When I execute a vagrant command I see the following error:

rbenv: vagrant: command not found

I have removed the old vagrant gem from all ruby environments BUT everytime I "cd" the vagrant shim is regenerated, meaning vagrant stops working until I rm the shim manually:

rm /home/{user}/.rbenv/shims/vagrant   

Is there a way to force rbenv to stop this behaviour?

rbenv plugins in use":

• ruby-build
• rbenv-gemset

Answer 1

Until this issue is resolved in rbenv, you could do this:

alias vagrant /full/path/to/vagrant

Then everytime you run vagrant, the actual vagrant binary will be executed, rather than the shim.

Answer 2

Other people have apparently had the same problem; see https://github.com/sstephenson/rbenv/issues/388.

If you are using the bundler plugin for rbenv, then vendoring a project which uses the vagrant gem will evidently cause the shim to be built; try removing the bundler plugin, remove the vagrant shim, and run rbenv rehash to see the problem is fixed.

If you aren't using the bundler plugin, can you give us a list of all the rbenv plugins you are using?
