No resource or method named `template' for `Chef::Provider::CertificateManage "none"'

[jtomaszewski]

It has been working correctly for months, and now suddenly it stopped. I wasn't even upgrading any chef or recipes anywhere. Now I'm having this bug and cannot setup the certificate using the manage_by_attributes recipe. I tried reinstalling the recipe, chef - but still it isnt working and I can't fix it.

Any ideas, where's the problem? I tried debugging the certificate cookbook by editing its' source and it really seems like template method would not defined here.

My setup:

• chef 12.4.1
• certficate cookbook 1.0.0

configuration of the certificate attribute:

    "certificate": [
      {"myapp": {
          "cert_file": "myapp.pem",
          "key_file": "myapp.key",
          "chain_file": "myapp-bundle.pem",
          "nginx_cert": false
      }}
    ],

Keys are stored properly, encrypted, in data bag certificates/myapp.

Log from running sudo chef-client on the node:
