cannot load such file -- chef/mixin/command about rvm

[zl4bv]

I spoke to @martinisoft at ChefConf earlier this year and it's likely this issue will only get fixed if someone else is willing to lend a hand. Meanwhile, I'm going to close this issue.

the replacement for this is mixlib::shellout or chef::mixin::shellout which is a wrapper for mixlib::shellout.
unfortunately, these don't allow you to explicitly declare what shell to use so conversion is not simple.

for commands that require a bash shell, the solution right now would be either:

shell_out("bash -c \"some command\"")
or
shell_out("absolute_path_to_script")
where the script has a shebang that declares the shell

The issue is still happening with the recent unreleased version of the rvm cookbook. Leaving this post so the issue remains active.

rvm cookbook version 0.10.1
Chef version 13.2.20

Verified bug is still present in 0.10.1 with commit d522bc2 from latest master.

Tested with Chef: 13.4.19

Same problem, but It will work with Chef: 12.x.x and cookbook version 0.9.4.
