Code works with hosted chef but fails on Chef Zero

Hi Everyone,

I’ve been messing around with test kitchen on windows using the windows_chef_zero gem. I’m not sure why the following piece of the recipe fails on chef zero but not hosted chef. It says that it can’t convert nil into String but I can’t see where. Can you help me out?

Thanks,

David

There should be a line past that where it says it wrote the stack trace to
a file. If you put that file in here, it will be easier for people to help
for sure.
