Trying to run chef-run against a Windows host with Chef 13.10 installed fails. It outputs an error like Cannot find config at C:\workstation.rb. It appears that when we invoke chef-client -z --config workstation.rb it things we are trying to reference the root dir instead of the local dir.

Trying to run
chef-runagainst a Windows host with Chef 13.10 installed fails. It outputs an error likeCannot find config at C:\workstation.rb. It appears that when we invokechef-client -z --config workstation.rbit things we are trying to reference the root dir instead of the local dir.I actually found this bug in Linux as well and fixed it via https://github.com/chef/chef-apply/pull/9 but that same fix does not work for Windows.
This is because we need to reverse the order we check for policyfiles in chef to check for
File.exist?first overURI.regexp.We will need to bump our minimum supported version to
13.10.1after releasing that hotfix.Chef Apply Version
