Vagrant / Chef-solo not working after running recipe rvm::vagrant

Question

After adding recipe rvm::vagrant and running vagrant provision I got:

/usr/local/bin/chef-solo: line 23: /opt/vagrant_ruby/bin/chef-solo: No such file 
or directory
Chef never successfully completed! Any errors should be visible in the
output above. Please fix your recipes so that they properly complete.

This issue should have been fixed: https://github.com/fnichol/chef-rvm/issues/121

Even though I add the line:

'rvm' => {
    'vagrant' => {
      'system_chef_solo' => '/opt/vagrant_ruby/bin/chef-solo'
    }
  }

I am still getting the error. How can I recover from it?

Answer 1

You have to make sure that '/opt/vagrant_ruby/bin/chef-solo' is actual path of chef-solo. In my case it was /usr/bin/chef-solo. And this is part of my Vagrantfile that fixed it:

config.vm.provision :chef_solo do |chef|
  chef.json.merge! rvm: {vagrant: {system_chef_solo: '/usr/bin/chef-solo'}}
end
