SUMMARY

Building Windows2016 fails in current Chef. Recommend jettisoning Chef as seems too cumbersome to maintain, and use something similar to Windows2012 w/ powershell scripts.

STEPS

cd cookbooks/packer-templates
rm Berksfile.lock
berks
berks vendor ../../vendor/cookbooks
cd ../..
packer build \
 -var 'iso_url=/path/to/14393.0.160715-1616.RS1_RELEASE_SERVER_EVAL_X64FRE_EN-US.ISO' \
 -force \
 -only virtualbox-iso \
 vbox-2016.json

The compile error for windows/libraries/windows_package.rb is due to the removal of chef/mixin/language in Chef 14. But the windows_package.rb still relies on this.

Thus it seems that windows_package.rb is no longer compatible with Chef 14, which is what vbox-2016.json attempts to use.

Upon further research, it seems according to docs from https://github.com/chef-cookbooks/windows, quite a few of the libraries have been updated and included as resources in Chef 14. So I removed the dependency on the windows cookbook, and so far it seems to be working.

Update: Current ChefDK, remove the dependency to windows library, fixes it.

I created this blog to give a how-to step-by-step and workaround for issue:

Related. The cookbook shouldn't crash the very least. Wrote up bug in chef-boneyard/windows#564, but they don't seem interested in looking at it.

I will look at it when I get a chance. Not sure if the author is interested, as this project hasn't been touched for 2+ years.

Perhaps one easy fix is to specify the version, otherwise is uses the latest: https://www.packer.io/docs/provisioners/chef-solo.html#version.
