Misleading error message on missing plugin

[Preeticp]

[pchandra@pchandra adb-test]$ vagrant box outdated
There was an error loading a Vagrantfile. The file being loaded
and the error message are shown below. This is usually caused by
a syntax error.

Path: /home/pchandra/Vagrant/adb-test/Vagrantfile
Line number: 8
Message: RuntimeError: vagrant-service-manager plugin is not installed, run `vagrant plugin install vagrant-service-manager` to install the plugin.

It looks like the file has a syntax error and not that something is missing on my computer.

@Preeticp : It is not a syntax error.
To make it work, you need to first install plugin vagrant-service-manager.

Exactly @budhrg, so the error message is misleading. Especially the first part of the message, which reads ' There was an error loading a Vagrantfile. The file being loaded and the error message are shown below. This is usually caused by a syntax error.'
So it implies that the file has a syntax error and not that the vagrant-service-manager plugin is missing on my computer.

This is really a duplicate of #256

I am going to close this issue because this is already in discussion #256
