I haven't checked yet , but systemd cookbook was updated recently , so it might be the root cause. https://github.com/nathwill/chef-systemd/releases

I have pinned cookbook 'systemd', "= 2.1.3" in Berksfile , now works fine.

[anuriq]

also it should be fixed in 3.0.2

I'm having what might be a similar problem but berks says I'm running systemd 3.1.0 ` kibana5_configure[kibana] action configure

Error executing action `configure` on resource 'kibana5_configure[kibana]'

Any guidance for a newbie?

I'm having the same issue with description property using version 3.1.0 of the systemd cookbook. Pinning to systemd version 2.1.3 also fixed my issue.

[randyrue]

Added the line "cookbook 'systemd', "= 2.1.3"" to my Berksfile, am I doing that right?

Still getting: NoMethodError: undefined method `description' for Custom resource systemd_service from cookbook systemd

Hi all. I fixed version in a cookbook for now. Author of systemd cookbook have fully refactored it. Better wait and see what will happen.

[mburns]

This appears fixed in more recent 3.x versions of systemd (at least, I can't reproduce it anymore) and the 2.1.3 version lock is an option for users with legacy support requirements.

Going to close this for now. Cheers!
