[Solved] Chef: NameError: Cannot find a resource for converge_by on centos

I was testing CUBRID Chef Cookbook on CentOS 6.3 today using Vagrant tool when I encountered the following error with Chef 10.12.0:

FATAL: NameError: python_pipvirtualenv (python::virtualenv line 23) had an error: NameError: Cannot find a resource for converge_by on centos version 6.3

Solution

The solution to this problem occured to be trivial: converge_by resource has been introduced quite recently in a newer version of Chef. Therefore a simple update to Chef solved this problem.

sudo gem update chef ohai --no-ri --no-rdoc

And the error is gone!
