Hi Chefs,

This problem was quickly fixed by the author of knife zero.

Now it has been updated and no problem.

Thanks.

Hi Chefs,

I'm trying knife zero plugin. 

But it doesn't work on chef 12.x but it works on chef 11.x.

Can I use knife zero plugin on chef 12.x? 

 or Anything wrong with my procedure?

Knife zero's author seems to remove the dependency on purpose.

CaseB : chef 11.x

I changed Gemfile. Like this.

---Gemfile

gem "chef", "11.16.4"

gem "knife-zero"

gem "berkshelf"

---

Then it works.

$ rm Gemfile.lock

$ bundle install

$ bundle exec knife zero bootstrap test_ubuntu -x vagrant --sudo
