Vagrant AWS - Chef::Exceptions::InvalidDataBagPath

During Chef execution on a AWS provisioning Vagrant returned the following error:


==> default: Chef::Exceptions::InvalidDataBagPath
==> default: ------------------------------------

==> default: Data bag path '/tmp/vagrant-chef/fdc6caf9a3118279699556aed8f850d7/data_bags' is invalid

To fix this error, just create data_bags directory (if there isn't already) and add chef.data_bags_path configuration this in your VagrantFile


  config.vm.provision :chef_solo do |chef|

    # insert here
    chef.data_bags_path = "./data_bags"

  end
