spiceweasal binary failing to load

[csmyth95]

Hi, I am trying to run a .json file that I coded for use with spiceweasal for chef deployments. Whenever I try to use spiceweasel on my git bash shell, I get a file load error from the spiceweasal binary where it says "require 'spiceweasal'" (line 21). (Error shown below)

I cloned the repo for spiceweasal (version 2.8) from Github using git clone and installed its dependencies using bundler. The spiceweasal bin directory is also in my environment variables PATH. I would greatly appreciate any help you could offer me, Thanks.

do you want to use spiceweasel as an application or do you want to work at developing it? If all you want to do is use it as an application to support your chef work you should be able to install the spiceweasel gem, and you won't need to execute the binary from the github clone

gem install spiceweasel 

I have successfully installed and have been able to invoke spiceweasel using the installed gem

Hi Andy,

I want to use spiceweasel as an application for deploying my chef cookbooks.

I ran "gem install spiceweasel" in my bash shell on Windows 7 and the following happened.

I have tried installing both Gecode version 4.4.0 and 3.5.0 and neither have worked for me.

Do you have any suggestions?

I know that the Chef client for Windows hasn't been upgraded to Ruby 2.1 (or 2.2) yet because of stability issues (Linux is on 2.1). Perhaps try using Ruby 2.0 on Windows?

Hi Matt, I installed Ruby 2.0 using the ruby installer. I then tried installing spiceweasel using "gem install spiceweasel" (after removing the git cloned repo of spiceweasel I used to have) and when it tries to build native extensions for dep_selector-1.0.3.gem, It fails to build even with Ruby 2.0 in the build path (as shown below).
