Description

Description

chef/scaffolding-chef-infra, on Windows only, sets the value of rubygems_url to a non-existent variable.

The linux scaffolding properly sets it here

The windows scaffolding sets it here which I believe should be the same as the linux version and rubygems_url "${cfg_rubygems_url}"

The outcome is that the rubygems url is never set or defaulted and produces the following output.

Scaffolding Version

chef/scaffolding-chef-infra v0.23.0

Platform Version

Windows Server 2012R2

Build or Run Output

FATAL: Mixlib::ShellOut::ShellCommandFailed: Expected process to exit with [0], but received '4'
---- Begin output of ["bundle", "install"] ----
STDOUT: 
STDERR: [!] There was an error parsing `Gemfile`: The source must be an absolute URI. For example:
source 'https://rubygems.org'. Bundler cannot continue.
---- End output of ["bundle", "install"] ----
Ran ["bundle", "install"] returned 4

Research direction

Compare scaffolding-chef-infra/lib/linux/client-chunk.rb around lines 9-11 with scaffolding-chef-infra/lib/windows/client-chunk.rb around lines 13-15. Check how the Windows scaffolding assigns rubygems_url, then verify a Windows build using chef/scaffolding-chef-infra v0.23.0 no longer produces the invalid URI error during bundle install.
