How to specify the desired box version in Vagrantfile?

Question

Vagrant

I do not understand what needs to be done to install the required version of vagrant box for laravel homestead. I added these lines to the Vagrantfile, but version 9.7.2 is still downloaded. Tell me what to do

cool_sniper98 - checked everything works for me
here

# -*- mode: ruby -*-
# vi: set ft=ruby :

require 'yaml'
require 'pp'

basedir = ENV.fetch('USERPROFILE', '')
basedir = ENV.fetch('HOME', '') if basedir == ''
basedir = basedir.gsub('\\', '/')

dir = File.expand_path(File.dirname(__FILE__))

box_hostname = ENV.fetch('BOX_HOSTNAME', 'alpine')
box_name = ENV.fetch('BOX_NAME', 'generic/alpine38')
box_version = ENV.fetch('BOX_VERSION', '3.1.20' ) # 3.1.22
VAGRANTFILE_API_VERSION = '2'

Vagrant.configure(VAGRANTFILE_API_VERSION) do |config|
 
  config.vm.box = box_name # box_hostname
  config.vm.hostname = box_hostname
  config.vm.box_version = box_version # v3.1.20

  config.ssh.forward_agent = true
  config.vm.boot_timeout = 600
  config.vm.synced_folder './', '/vagrant'
  
  if ! Vagrant.has_plugin?('vagrant-alpine')
    # TODO: raise an error
  end
  if Vagrant.has_plugin?('vagrant-vbguest')
    config.vbguest.auto_update = false
  end

   config.vm.provision "shell", inline: <<-SHELL
     apk update && apk upgrade
   SHELL
end

here is the check
vagrant up
writes on the console

#  default: Downloading: https://vagrantcloud.com/generic/boxes/alpine38/versions/3.1.20/providers/virtualbox.box

change

export BOX_VERSION=3.1.18
 vagrant stop ; vagrant destroy -f ; vagrant up

writes to console

#  default: Downloading: https://vagrantcloud.com/generic/boxes/alpine38/versions/3.1.18/providers/virtualbox.box

to find out what there are, order a non-existent

export BOX_VERSION=3.1.99
vagrant up

writes to console

that the provider you wish to use is available for these constraints.
