[chef] minitest-handler cookbook errors after upgrading chef-client

[Brian Anderson < >]

Here's my situation.

I've got an internal cookbook for deploying our application to our stacks.  I'm using the minitest-handler cookbook to run automated tests on it.

Here is an example of a very basic test that I'm having trouble with:

[2014-02-19T17:42:14+00:00] INFO: *** Chef 11.4.4 ***

        it "Creates a timestamped directory" do
         file(node['portal']['wardir']).must_exist
         file(node['portal']['wardir']).must_have(:owner, node['fleet']['systemuser'])
         file(node['portal']['wardir']).must_have(:mode, "755")
       end

Under chef 11.4.4 this test works as expected:

affdex::portal_war_erb#test_0001_Creates a timestamped directory = 
0.00 s = 
.

Same box, after upgrading to the latest chef-client

[2014-02-19T18:04:56+00:00] INFO: *** Chef 11.10.2 ***
affdex::portal_war_erb#test_0001_Creates a timestamped directory = 
0.00 s = F
  1) Failure:
affdex::portal_war_erb#test_0001_Creates a timestamped directory [/opt/chef/embedded/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/minitest-chef-handler-1.0.1/lib/minitest-chef-handler/resources.rb:48]:
The file /home/webapps/portal/releases/1392833097 does not have the expected owner.
Expected: "affect"
  Actual: nil

I'm getting nil back on any permissions/ownership type tests under chef-client 11.10.2.

Is there a change that I missed that is causing this?
