Hey folks,

We have a new ChefDK release that resolves bundler warnings users were seeing 4.1.7 and also brings in some nice new functioning.

Bug Fixes

  • Rubygems has been rolled back to 3.0.3 to resolve duplicate bundler gems that shipped in ChefDK 4.1.7. This resulted in warning messages when running commands as well as performance degradations.
  • Fixed 'chef install foo.lock.json' errors when loading cookbooks from Artifactory.
