Hello All,
So I am trying to run chef-client and want to pass it a recipe along with a JSON file to input attributes, all inside a ruby script. I am able to run the command directly in cmd or Powershell. And I am running the command inside the ruby script as:
system("chef-client -o ‘recipe’ -j ‘path-to-JSON’ -L ‘log-file-path’ ")
It does run chef-client but since my recipe contains a require ‘chef/provisioning/aws’ statement, it gives the following error:
Generated at 2016-11-03 06:54:40 +0000
LoadError: cannot load such file – chef/provisioning/aws_driver

I don’t know why would it give such an error when it runs directly through powershell or cmd. Is there something else that I need to do to let my script run the same way as I run the command manually?
I tried to google it but could not find any reason on why this particular error shows up.
Also open to any suggestions on alternate ways of running chef-client command on provisioner node inside a script.
Thanks,
Rahul
