[Sean89us]

Cookbook version

3.1.1

Chef-client version

12.19.36 12.22.5

Platform Details

Oracle Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 6.10 Oracle Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 7

Scenario:

Installing cookbook gems selects the brand-new 4.0.1 chef-vault gem which is incompatible with Chef 12's embedded Ruby 2.3. This breaks the entire chef-client run.

Steps to Reproduce:

Include this cookbook in the run-list of a node running Chef 12, then chef-client

Expected Result:

Chef-client completes

Actual Result:

Chef-client breaks at 'installing cookbook gems'
