Description

Running ChefSpec tests via chef exec rspec spec/ is broken in Chef Workstation 2.2.802.

I get the following error (even on a newly generated cookbook using chef generate cookbook somename -s):

An error occurred in a `before(:suite)` hook.
Failure/Error: Chef::WorkstationConfigLoader.new(nil).load

I don't get this error if I downgrade back to 22.1.778.

Platform Version

I'm running Chef Workstation on Windows 10 in WSL2 (tested this in both Debian 9 and Ubuntu 20.04 distros).

It seems to work if I upgrade ChefSpec with chef gem install chefspec -v 9.3.3. It's unfortunate that a stable release was cut that breaks this basic workflow. :(

thanks @npmeyer for calling out the regression. we intend to improve our end-to-end test automation coverage so that such issues are caught prior to release.
