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)

32: wmi_gem = Chef::Resource::ChefGem.new(‘wmi-lite’, run_context)
33>> wmi_gem.run_action(:install)
34:
35: require 'wmi-lite’
36: end

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.
