Compile Error on server_monitor.rb

Running newrelic cookbook 2.43.0 I run into this compilation issue:

Previously 2.41.0 was working until today. Thank you.

Same issue! My Chef version is 14.11.21

My immediate question is if the attribute? method was added in Chef 15 or 16, but I haven't found this info yet.

Another edit: seems like this was a thing at least back in Chef 12: https://docs-archive.chef.io/release/12-9/attributes.html

Could you give v2.43.1 a go? Thanks in advance!
