Subject: [chef] Error printing in 10.14

Greetings fellow chef users,

 

I have a question about how errors are printed in 10.14. I’m getting the classic - FATAL: TypeError: can't convert nil into String which probably means I’m missing an attribute. The trouble is, I can’t find where the error is happening. If I look at the stacktrace it looks like it’s all coming from chef itself.

This doesn’t give me any clue to where my code to look where the nil is coming from.
