vagrant provisioning fails mentioning object not found

Question

When I am executing vagrant up or vagrant provision, it fails with the below error. Any suggestion to fix this is welcome. Where is the vagrant-7343223c created in

#<ChefZero::RestErrorResponse: 404: Object not found: hefzero://localhost:8889/nodes/vagrant-7343223c>

The above line is taken from the error log given below.

Answer 1

there's been a few issues reported since yesterday - the solution seems to downgrade chef to 12.10.24

In your Vagrantfile just mention the chef version to use

Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
  config.vm.provision "chef_solo" do |chef|
    chef.version = "12.10.24"
  end
end
