NoMethodError: undefined method `[]' for nil:NilClass

Chef Infra (archive)

I am getting this on chef-client of a node:

FATAL: NoMethodError: undefined method `[]’ for nil:NilClass.

with this pointed out in relevant file content:

variables :vhost => node[:rabbitmq][:queue_name]

Any thoughts on what it means and how to approach it?

It means that node.rabbitmq isn’t set. Can you include more information like the entire chef-client error output? I’m guessing you don’t have the rabbitmq cookbook in this node’s runlist.
