Chef never successfully completed

[d2max]

Hi,

I got an error message when I ran 'vagrant up' after installing VirtualBox and Vagrant. I'm using macbook pro i7 core with OS X Yosemite.

The error message shown at the end of the codes is:

Chef never successfully completed! Any errors should be visible in the
output above. Please fix your recipes so that they properly complete.

So I went up and found another error message:
==> default: Recipe Compile Error in /var/chef/cache/cookbooks/python/attributes/default.rb

I tried 'vagrant destroy' and 'vagrant up' again, and got the same error message. Can you please help?

Thanks,
Di

The (python) is deprecated and does not work with Chef 13. Should be using poise-python instead.

I have been trying to install the virtual environment on my macbook ios 10.12.6 and when I run the vagrant up command, I get message that chef never completed successfully. The failure is in the install of the python package or in finding the python method. How do I fix this?
