@hinder90 are you saying that Chef is being bootstrapped with a different version that what you are specifying with --bootstrap-version? If you bootstrap an already existing VM using knife bootstrap what version does it get bootstrapped with? Could you provide some output?

[hinder90]

@skymob yes, that is what I was saying, but for some reason I made some changes to my arguments that fixed this. Very strange.

@skymob So I am back to this again.... if you look at the command and output (https://gist.github.com/hinder90/46b173764e202bd93235) I am specifying 11.4.4 but 11.6.0 is the version of the gem used arbitrarily, presumably since it is the newest version. This is causing problems as our chef servers is 11.4.4. Any ideas?

[skymob]

@hinder90 Unless you use --distro switch, knife will use the default chef-full.erb template file. This line shows that the template file is supposed to honor chef_version, so I think the next step would be figuring out why that isn't being set. Could you try specifying bootstrap_version in your knife.rb file:

knife[:bootstrap_version] = "11.4.4"

and see if the bootstrap installs the correct version then?

Hi, is this issue still happening? I'm cleaning up old issues and want to see if we need to do any more work here.

Thanks.

Hard to say, I’ve moved on from this project and can’t verify. Sorry.

No problem. Thanks for getting back to me. I'll close this, and if anyone else reports it they can open up a new issue and we can look at it with fresh eyes.
