Under win7 environment, vagrant, start the virtual machine when the error io.rb: 32: in `encode ': incomplete" \ xC8 "on GBK (Encoding :: InvalidByteSequenceError)

Description :

　　These days in the windows environment, the deployment of a vagrant, being given time to start the virtual machine:

[c:\~]$ vagrant up

==> default: Importing base box 'centos'...
==> default: Matching MAC address for NAT networking...
==> default: Setting the name of the VM: Sessions_default_1566958579504_77159

Resolution process :

　　For a long time, did not understand that, then we see the solution to the problem on the foreign github.

My Solution

With the help of a non vagrant-related StackOverflow solution, I solved the issue by changing the line 32 in "Vagrant\embedded\gems\gems\vagrant-2.0.1\lib\vagrant\util" as:

data << io.readpartial(READ_CHUNK_SIZE).encode('UTF-8', invalid: :replace, undef: :replace, replace: '?')

 I.e. modifying the source code, and change it to say:

1. Locate the D: /tools/HashiCorp/Vagrant/embedded/gems/2.2.5/gems/vagrant-2.2.5/lib/vagrant/util/io.rb file, locate the line 32

data << io.readpartial(READ_CHUNK_SIZE).encode("UTF-8", Encoding.default_external)

 

 2. Comment out this line, the following code is added on the reference github

              #data << io.readpartial(READ_CHUNK_SIZE).encode("UTF-8", Encoding.default_external)
              data << io.readpartial(READ_CHUNK_SIZE).encode('UTF-8', invalid: :replace, undef: :replace, replace: '?')

 

 3. After modification, re-execute the command vagrant up

[c:\~]$ vagrant up
Bringing machine 'default' up with 'virtualbox' provider...
==> default: Importing base box 'centos'...
==> default: Matching MAC address for NAT networking...
==> default: Setting the name of the VM: Sessions_default_1566958795239_49467
Vagrant is currently configured to create VirtualBox synced folders with
the `SharedFoldersEnableSymlinksCreate` option enabled. If the Vagrant
guest is not trusted, you may want to disable this option. For more
information on this option, please refer to the VirtualBox manual:

  https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch04.html#sharedfolders

This option can be disabled globally with an environment variable:

  VAGRANT_DISABLE_VBOXSYMLINKCREATE=1

or on a per folder basis within the Vagrantfile:

  config.vm.synced_folder '/host/path', '/guest/path', SharedFoldersEnableSymlinksCreate: false

    default: The guest additions on this VM do not match the installed version of
    default: VirtualBox! In most cases this is fine, but in rare cases it can
    default: prevent things such as shared folders from working properly. If you see
    default: shared folder errors, please make sure the guest additions within the
    default: virtual machine match the version of VirtualBox you have installed on
    default: your host and reload your VM.
    default: 
    default: Guest Additions Version: 4.3.30
    default: VirtualBox Version: 6.0

    default: /vagrant => C:/Users/Administrator/Documents/NetSarang/Xshell/Sessions

successfully passed!
