cloudcli cookbook does not work with Chef-Client 12.19.36

[isuftin]

Ran into an interesting issue today.

cloudcli cookbook 1.0.0 chef-client 12.19.36

All cloudcli cookbook default settings on a CentOS 6.8 AWS VM:

Recipe: cloudcli::_aws_linux
  * yum_package[groff] action install (up to date)
  * python_runtime[2] action install
    * poise_languages_system[python] action install

      ================================================================================
      Error executing action `install` on resource 'poise_languages_system[python]'

      NoMethodError

Not sure whether this should be an issue for this cookbook or the dependency poise_languages

[isuftin]

FYI this does work fine with chef-client 12.18.31

[cmlicata]

Seems reasonable. @isuftin, feel free to put in a PR with the fix and added tests.

[isuftin]

@cmlicata I'll see what I can do here as time allows. I'm hoping it can be fixed at this end and not have to be passed off to the poise_languages cookbook. Thanks, @cmlicata

[naveenkumar1012]

This is still appearing in chef-client 12.21.3 Any idea how to fix this?

[cmlicata]

@naveenkumarjtg, I haven't worked on this in a bit, but could you please provide a stacktrace?

[cmlicata]

Is this a critical issue for you?

[isuftin]

This cookbook is part of our base role for our nodes. Due to this issue, we are unable to move towards a newer version of the Chef client.

[isuftin]

Update, this may be due to us using an older version of the cloucli-cookbook. Further testing will be done on our end.
