Error after updating chefDK

[gbonk]

I have not found a matching issue on here like I am having at the moment.. Note the version is dot

I just uninstalled ChefDk 1.1.6 and installed 1.2.22

$ vagrant up
Bringing machine 'default' up with 'virtualbox' provider...
The Berkshelf version at "C:\\opscode\\chefdk\\bin/berks.BAT" is invalid.
Vagrant Berkshelf requires >= 4.0, but the current version is .

Please download and install the latest version of the ChefDK from:

    https://downloads.chef.io/chef-dk

and follow the installation instructions. Do not forget to add the ChefDK to
your PATH.

I'm running this from a Git-Bash shell on windows.

I downloaded the Windows 2012r2 x86_64 but I'm on Windows 7 Enterprise

Had the same problem this morning. Downgrading to chefdk 1.2.20 (containing berks 5.5) fixed it for now.

Same here, Downgrading to chefdk 1.2.20. Now it's fine

[CarlGranstrom]

Same issue here, downgrading(1.2.20) did it.

I un installed and reinstalled the older version. - Gregory Bonk

I ran into this today. It looks to be caused by new warnings outputted during the version check.

This hits JSON.parse
https://github.com/berkshelf/vagrant-berkshelf/blob/master/lib/vagrant-berkshelf/action/check.rb#L36

And then raises the version error
https://github.com/berkshelf/vagrant-berkshelf/blob/master/lib/vagrant-berkshelf/action/check.rb#L42-L43

Then it doesn't output the version in the error message but the current version is . since it does not get parsed.

Same issue. Agree with @colinpetruno . Downgrade worked.

This is caused by a problem with the version of Hashie included in the Berkshelf within the latest ChefDK: berkshelf/berkshelf#1669

You can do a workaround on ChefDK by patching Berkshelf with https://github.com/berkshelf/berkshelf/pull/1668/files

ChefDK Workaround

1. sudo chef exec gem install berkshelf
2. Edit /opt/chefdk/bin/berks and change version to 5.6.3 or whatever the current gem version is

sudo vim /opt/chefdk/bin/berks

gem "berkshelf", "= 5.6.3"

spec = Gem::Specification.find_by_name("berkshelf", "= 5.6.3")

So @bdwyertech’s solution eventually worked, but it involves not having the gem bin of berks on your $PATH, and making the changes they suggest.

[gbonk]

@bdwyertech worked for me and i can now use 1.2.22

Directions for Git Bash on windows

1. chef exec gem install berkshelf
2. vi /c/opscode/chefdk/bin/berks
