Recipe compiler error when running with Chef 12.3.0 #148

When running on a linux server with chef 12.3.0 installed I get the following error:

Hi there -- can you show us the data bag you're using? I think this is more a function of that being unexpected. We're actually doing test-kitchen tests with this setup and it's working okay.

It was the secrets. I don't know what was wrong, but recreating them and knife'ng them got the recipe to work. I also added a PR to solve the compiler error when the secrets are wrong. At least then you can debug the problem on the server instead of getting a compiler error.

@markcallen Thank you for the update. One of the reason we have TK suites is to catch those before they ever get to a server. That might be useful for your use case too. Cheers!
