When following the steps outlined here I consistently got an error:
RuntimeError: private_key[in_memory](basic_chef_client::block line 79) had an error: RuntimeError: Could not read private key from none: missing pass phrase?
relevant console output

Reverting chef to 12.3.0 resolved the issue
Yes, this is certainly an error with Chef 12.4.0. When I made some code updates to fix that error I started running into errors with bootstrapping no longer working. Trying to figure out what happened today
https://github.com/chef/cheffish/blob/master/lib/chef/provider/private_key.rb#L54
In 12.3.0 current_resource.action is [:delete], and in 12.4.0 it is :delete - this is causing the error above.
current_resource should come from load_current_resource and the action is set by https://github.com/chef/cheffish/blob/master/lib/chef/provider/private_key.rb#L215
Pulling in the changes from chef/chef#3605 fixed this issue for me!
Leaving this open so that when 12.4.1 is released we can make sure and test this again, as well as ensuring the ChefDK gets that version packaged into it
I'm going to close this because these changes are in the latest ChefDK RC (> 0.7.0.rc.3) builds - you can obtain it by following the instructions at https://github.com/chef/chef-dk/blob/master/README.md#pre-release-candiates
