i removed my Berkshelf.lock and rebuild the whole cookbook tree - then it started to work - does that make any sense?

@EugenMayer That makes sense. It means that the version of a cookbook was locked to a previous version of the cookbook that wasn't Chef 13 compliant. By clearing out the Berkshelf.lock it would pull down current versions that resolved the Chef 13 issue.

Looks like i am getting below while running from chef DK v 2.0.28.
