Chef Solo Fatal Error when loading .json Configuration

Chef Infra (archive)
1

Hey everyone;

So when I run the chef-solo command on my local node it gives back an error when trying to load the run list from node.json.

Here is my solo.rb file:

file_cache_path   "/etc/chef"
cookbook_path     "/root/chef-repo/cookbooks"
role_path         "/root/chef-repo/roles"
data_bag_path     "/root/chef-repo/data_bags"
node_path         "/root/chef-repo/node.json"

And here is my node.json file:

{
    "run_list": [ "recipe[standard-server]" ]
}

And here is the error message:

Starting Chef Infra Client, version 15.1.36

Any help with this is greatly appreciated, thank you.

Hi,

As error states the node_path parameter should point to the folder and not to some file
