Joseph,

I imagine that you use Knife when bootstrapping a node. I do believe that it doesn't matter what version of ChefDK you use, when bootstrapping a node, the Chef Omnibus installer will fetch the latest release of chef-client and install it on the node. I believe that's currently 12.4.1. You can override that by adding a --bootstrap-version flag to the knife bootstrap command. You can also override that by hard-coding the desired version of chef-client in your workstation's knife.rb, or in your Vagrantfile, or in your .kitchen.yml, if you use any of those tools.

Hello Noah,

Thanks for the information. is it possible to get chefdk 0.6.2 to install chef-client 12 instead when bootstraping nodes ?

Best Regards,

When running the bootstraping command it complains about: "Halite is not compatible with no_lazy_load false, please set no_lazy_load true in your Chef configuration file." Not having much information about his, I headed to poise project on github and found that I could set the no_lazy_load to true. I had to manually and run chef-client but that has resulted in another error reported here

My cookbooks are only compatible with Chef 12 and above. You are using 11.8.2, which is not supported. Please upgrade to Chef 12 and try again.
