[chef] Re: Code works with hosted chef but fails on Chef Zero

[John Keiser < >]

There should be a line past that where it says it wrote the stack trace to a file.  If you put that file in here, it will be easier for people to help for sure.

Hi Everyone,

I've been messing around with test kitchen on windows using the windows_chef_zero gem.  I'm not sure why the following piece of the recipe fails on chef zero but not hosted chef.  It says that it can't convert nil into String but I can't see where.  Can you help me out?

Thanks,

David
