rest-client error

[mcdavon]

Hi, I'm running into issues with the rest-client error and can't figure out how to resolve it. Here's the error, FATAL: LoadError: cannot load such file -- rest-client

It appears the version is not compatible but I'm sure, please can anyone advise a fix?

Same here. My story is that I am migrating our Chef 12.x server to latest version. The same cookbook works fine in 12.x

Extract from stack output

I initially had v2.8.5, but I see the same issue with 2.7.0 version which was working in Chef 12.x
