Issues with Halite while trying out chef official tutorial

Hello All,

I wanted to be familiar with working with chef-server so after playing with
chef-solo I headed to the official tutorials. So I have successfully
finished the first and second tutorial but I have been struggling for a
while now on the Learn to manage a basic web application on Ubuntu
https://learn.chef.io/manage-a-web-app/ubuntu .

I have been using 2 vagrant boxes. one for workstation and the second as
node. When running the bootstraping command it complains about: “Halite is
not compatible with no_lazy_load false, please set no_lazy_load true in
your Chef configuration file.” Not having much information about his, I
headed to poise project on github and found that I could set the
no_lazy_load to true. I had to manually and run chef-client but that has
resulted in another error reported here
https://learn.chef.io/manage-a-web-app/ubuntu/apply-and-verify-your-web-server-configuration/#comment-2151426919

Can anyone please give a helping hand here?

My cookbooks are only compatible with Chef 12 and above. You are using 11.8.2, which is not supported. Please upgrade to Chef 12 and try again.

Hello Noah,

chef-client 12 instead when bootstraping nodes ?

Best Regards,

Joseph,
I imagine that you use Knife when bootstrapping a node. I do believe that
it doesn’t matter what version of ChefDK you use, when bootstrapping a
node, the Chef Omnibus installer will fetch the latest release of
chef-client and install it on the node. I believe that’s currently 12.4.1.
You can override that by adding a --bootstrap-version flag to the knife
bootstrap command. You can also override that by hard-coding the desired
version of chef-client in your workstation’s knife.rb, or in your
Vagrantfile, or in your .kitchen.yml, if you use any of those tools.
