Could not find 'berkshelf' (>= 0) among 90 total gem(s) (Gem::LoadError)

Question

I am having issues when setting up Chef and Vagrant for my rails app. When I try:

$ vagrant up

I get the error:

Bringing machine 'default' up with 'virtualbox' provider...
The following berks command failed to execute:

    /Users/user/.chefdk/gem/ruby/2.1.0/bin/berks --version --format json

The stdout and stderr are shown below:

stdout: 
stderr: /opt/chefdk/embedded/lib/ruby/site_ruby/2.1.0/rubygems/dependency.rb:313:in `to_specs':                        
    Could not find 'berkshelf' (>= 0) among 90 total gem(s) (Gem::LoadError)
    Checked in 'GEM_PATH=/Users/user/.vagrant.d/gems:/Applications/Vagrant/bin/../embedded/gems', execute `gem env` for more information

    from /Users/user/.chefdk/gem/ruby/2.1.0/bin/berks:22:in `<main>'

Then when I run gem env, I get:

Berkshelf is installed, as well as, ChefDK. I also made sure to add:

PATH=$HOME/.chefdk/gem/ruby/2.1.0/bin:/opt/chefdk/bin:$PATH to my .bash_profile.

Any help would be much appreciated!

Answer 1

vagrant-berkshelf support only Berkshelf installed by Chef-DK.

You need to remove Chef & Berkshelf install by gem.

gem uninstall chef chef-zero berkshelf knife-solo

And install Chef-DK from chef website https://downloads.getchef.com/chef-dk, new version contain all of these tools

EDIT

If you use Kitchen, you need keep Berkshelf install by gem follow this post for know how do that : https://stackoverflow.com/a/28221417/3271231

Answer 2

Also check C:\opscode\chefdk\bin is before the embedded\bin in your PATH. You can check with chef -v

chef -v
WARN: C:/opscode/chefdk/embedded/bin is before C:/opscode/chefdk/bin in your Path, please reverse that order.
WARN: consider using the correct `chef shell-init <shell>` command to setup your environment correctly.
