Judging by the stack trace, you'll probably want to get this to the people involved in writing chefspec.

I uninstalled the 1.7.7 json gem and installed 1.7.6 gem and I still get an exception when i run any knife commands.

Any thoughts?

I'm guessing you installed via gem?

The json gem people released a breaking change in 1.7.6 -> 1.7.7 in response to a DoS vulnerability. I'm presently working on a fix. In the meantime you can uninstall version 1.7.7 of json and install 1.7.6 instead.

Hi chefs

an interesting problem has cropped up and i'm a bit stumped. The error

is here: https://gist.github.com/anonymous/4771363. This apparently

has started happening in the last week, but I know there have been

hosts that were newly built with 10.20.0 and are working fine.

As a test for this host that i'm working on, i removed 10.20.0 and its

dependent gems and installed 10.12.0 and the client ran as expected

(ie: new client registration and adding an item to the run_list). I

then reinstalled 10.20.0 on top of 10.12.0 and ran right back into

this wall. I can't help but think there's something wrong with this

VM and it just needs to be rebuilt, but i'd like to make sure this

isnt a client bug first.
