Hello all,
I am running a java recipe that is checked out from a Repository that
I do not have write access to, and so I am using my cookbooks attributes
file to change how the software is installed.
We are using Chef 10.14.4 with Vagrant 1.4.3 (versions fixed and out of my control)
I was asked to change the recipe to install Java version 8.
From my cookbooks attributes/default.rb:

I would be arguing that we need to try upgrading, but this deployment works on some system
but not on others…I am thinking that I have some gem version mismatch but am not clear on
how I might determine this…
All apologies if this is documented…I looked.
Thank you,
Christopher
