Hi,

 

I’ve just upgraded my Win2008R2 server to Chef client v11 but when running my cookbooks with chef-solo I receive the following error:

You're probably hitting this issue:

Probably a cookbook in your repo has a dependency on chef_handler. Getting metadata dependencies correct is important for chef-solo on Chef 11, it uses this information to evaluate attribute (and other) files in a sane order.
