undefined method `verbose=' for #<Logger:

[johntdyer]

I am playing around w/ Chefspec and I am having a bit of trouble getting this to work.

I am constantly getting an undefined method

let(:chef_run) { ChefSpec::ChefRunner.new.converge 'prism::default' }
    it "should install foo" do
        chef_run.should install_package 'foo'
    end
end

And here is my error:

 Failure/Error: chef_run = ChefSpec::ChefRunner.new
 NoMethodError:
   undefined method `verbose=' for #<Logger:0x007fe3ad8386d0>

I dont see where logger is getting called in

Not sure what I am doing wrong here, any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

@johntdyer I think this is actually a Chef issue. What version of Chef are you running (knife -v).

[johntdyer]

10.16.2

[sethvargo]

What does your knife.rb file look like? What version of ChefSpec?

[johntdyer]

I was following a blog somewhere to get this working and they suggested putting a knife.rb in the cookbook

./test/.chef/knife.rb

The contents of this file are

cache_type 'BasicFile'
cache_options(:path => "#{ENV['HOME']}/.chef/checksums")

According to my Gemfile.lock the version is only 0.0.1

11:49:29 (development) jdyer@dyer-4.local prism master gem list chefspec

*** LOCAL GEMS ***

chefspec (0.0.1)

[johntdyer]

I am not sure how I ended up w/ 0.0.1, but I can see its older then dirt :)

I see the GA is currently 0.9.0 but there is a 1.0.0.rc1, which in your opinion should I run w/ ?

[sethvargo]

If you're using chef 11, you need rc1.

Seth,

We are still on 10 right now. We have had to many things in flight to risk the change right now. When CHEF-3356 is merged it will be motivation enough for us to make the switch to 11.

Then you're safe to use 0.9.0. Chef 11 changed the way classes are arranged so now there's ugly conditional logic based of Chef::VERSION in the RC that will need to stick around until Chef 10 is deprecated.

When you move to Chef 11, you'll need to test with chefspec >= 1.0.0.
