[chef] "can't convert Logger::Syslog into String" when configuring syslog

[William Jimenez < >]

Hello

I'm trying to configure chef-client to log to syslog, as mentioned here: https://github.com/opscode-cookbooks/chef-client#configuration-includes, however when I use that config I get the following error:

[2014-12-08T19:43:54+00:00] FATAL: Failed to open or create log file at #

<Logger::Syslog:0x00000002ee6e50>: TypeError (can't convert Logger::Syslog into String)

[2014-12-08T19:43:54+00:00] FATAL: Aborting due to invalid 'log_location' configuration

I'm wondering what environments this works on. I'm running chef client 11.16.4. 

Thanks,

William
