[chef] Re: Re: Re: Re: Gem Versions

Hi Jenn,

I can definitely confirm what Ranjib & David mentioned.

In httparty 0.12.0, the maintainer decided to constrain their dependency on json 1.8.x and above, whereas Chef 11 will not currently allow anything beyond json 1.7.7, hence the conflict.

If you're using a Gemfile/gemspec, I'd add `gem 'httparty', '< 0.12.0'` or explicitly `gem 'httparty', '0.11.0'` for now, and document the reasoning.

If installing via chef_gem, then:

chef_gem 'httparty' do

  version '0.11.0'

end

Hope this helps,

Jenn,

Can you tell us what version of Chef you're using, and how it's installed?

I have run into a similar issue before and the only way I got around it
was to explicitly install httparty version 0.11.0 (it does not have the
same dependency). Not sure if that is the best way though. Curious to see
if anyone else has input.
