Upgraded to Mojave, Homestead not working

I have just upgraded to Mac Mojave and my entire development environment has gone down.

I have upgraded Virtualbox to the latest 5.6.... I then updated Vagrant but I am now getting this error:

" The provider 'virtualbox' that was requested to back the machine 'homestead-7' is reporting that it isn't usable on this system. The reason is shown below:

Vagrant has detected that you have a version of VirtualBox installed that is not supported by this version of Vagrant. Please install one of the supported versions listed below to use Vagrant:

4.0, 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 5.0, 5.1, 5.2 "

Is there any solution without having to roll back to Sierra?

Thank you in advance

Has anyone found solution to this yet?

Not a solution or a answer to your question, but have you tried Laravel Valet instead?

@mike_sa Have you tried doing what the error message says and installing version 5.2 of VirtualBox? I’m running Mojave, and have VirtualBox 5.2.x installed and it works fine with Homestead.

@mike_sa, to get my Homestead working again I did the following:

  • Updated Vagrant
  • Updated VirtualBox
  • Updated Homestead (cd to ~/Homestead and git pull origin master)
  • Updated the Vagrant Homestead box (cd to ~/Homestead and vagrant box update)

I can confirm that what @timotheus has suggested worked well with my machine. Thanks.
