Help with "No usable default provider could be found for your system."

I'm running:

• Parallel Desktop 19
• MacOS 14.4.1
• MBP M2

I had installed Vagrant and got a succesful set up of a CentOS9 and Ubuntu 22.04 boxes. They were running great! I could get them to come up and connect, suspend them, etc.

I started this because, for a project at work, one of the developers wants to switch from a docker development environment to a Vagrant development environment. After checking out the repo and trying to bring up the development machine (based on centos9), I'm not getting the error that parallels won't work as a provider and I need a valid provider (VirtualBox, VMWare, Hyper-V). Parallels isn't even listed as a provider?

Specifying --provider=parallels doesn't help.

The Vagrantfile for the repo has config.vm.box = "generic/centos9s" where I pulled my original ones from bento.

The strange thing here is that I can no longer run my original Vagrant boxes and get the same error. How do I get by this? I've checked the metadata.json for the original boxes and they say "parallels".

Very confused....

 

Found the solution for my problem. When I ran the project from work, it tried to use docker and, somehow, the parallels plugin got removed. Reinstalled that and I'm back running.
