Learning Chef - Unable to Run Cookbook - Wrong Number of Arguments (1 for 0)

I've been following the tutorial at:

Building Your Chef Workstation on Windows

GitHub Repo of local

And it has been extremely helpful.

I've had to make a number of changes to get my code to the point where I should be able to execute the final instruction:

chef-client --local-mode --override-runlist 'local'

Changes:

winbox version - 0.1.68 (tutorial asks for 0.1.50) and branch from repository - master (tutorial asks for smurawski/updates)

And I've been able to get everything working up to the final instruction.

Now I'm getting an error:

PS C:\workstation-repo> chef-client --local-mode --override-runlist 'local'

Normally, this statement would be in an attributes file, not a recipe file: default['local']['gems'] = %w(kitchen-pester kitchen-hyperv kitchen-dsc pry)

If you're going to do it in a recipe, it needs to be: node.default['local']['gems'] = %w(kitchen-pester kitchen-hyperv kitchen-dsc pry)

However, I would strongly encourage you to move it to an attributes/*.rb file.
