chef windows cookbook compile error, cannot find file windows/error

On a chef-client run, I'm seeing this windows cookbook compile error, as show below. What is it trying to require in that it can't find, and how to fix? Is 'windows/error' a ruby gem or something else?

Found solution with help from a friend.

chef-client versions > 12.5 will need to install a gem

gem install windows-pr

To find this solution, go to the cookbook github repo and search in the "issues" there. That's the method, here's the direct link: https://github.com/chef-cookbooks/windows/issues/276
