Install problem with latest chefdk ruby version and rack dependency

[ghost]

Getting dependency issues with rack,
Fresh install of fedora 24, with chefdk 0.17.17

$> gem install chef-provisioning-vsphere
ERROR:  Error installing chef-provisioning-vsphere:
        rack requires Ruby version >= 2.2.2.

$> ruby --version
ruby 2.1.8p440 (2015-12-16 revision 53160) [x86_64-linux]

$> which ruby
/opt/chefdk/embedded/bin/ruby

$> rpm -qa | grep chefdk
chefdk-0.17.17-1.el7.x86_64

yes this is likely due to the fact that chef-provisioning-vsphere now depends chef-provisioning 2.0.1 which brings in the rack dependency. The chef gems are starting to remove gem constraints that prevent breaking ruby 2.1. A new chef-dk RC was just announced today that ships with ruby 2.3.1 see https://discourse.chef.io/t/pre-release-announcement-chef-dk-0-18-22/9461.

You might give that a try or add a constraint to a Gemfile that downgrades rack.

@mwrock Thanks for clearing this up, I will give the new chefdk a try
