[chef] Chef windows cookbook and wmi-lite

[Morgan Blackthorne < >]

I just started seeing this error as of the other day:

================================================================================

Recipe Compile Error in /var/chef/cache/cookbooks/windows/libraries/wmi-lite-gem.rb

================================================================================

ArgumentError

-------------

chef_gem[wmi-lite] (dynamically defined) had an error: ArgumentError: Illformed requirement [""]

Cookbook Trace:

---------------

  /var/chef/cache/cookbooks/windows/libraries/wmi-lite-gem.rb:33:in `rescue in <top (required)>'

  /var/chef/cache/cookbooks/windows/libraries/wmi-lite-gem.rb:25:in `<top (required)>'

Relevant File Content:

----------------------

/var/chef/cache/cookbooks/windows/libraries/wmi-lite-gem.rb:

 26:    require 'wmi-lite'

 27:  rescue LoadError

 28:    empty_node = Chef::Node.new

 29:    empty_events = Chef::EventDispatch::Dispatcher.new

 30:    run_context = Chef::RunContext.new(empty_node, {}, empty_events)

 31:  

 32:    wmi_gem = Chef::Resource::ChefGem.new('wmi-lite', run_context)

 33>>   wmi_gem.run_action(:install)

 34:  

 35:    require 'wmi-lite'

 36:  end

 37:  

 38:  

It looks like this is because it's trying to fire off and talk to rubygems.org before I have the proxies configured for that node. Is there a version of cookbook that I can pin to before wmi-lite became a requirement? ISTR that this is mainly needed for 11.14.x clients from the other thread floating around.
