I use Chef in Packer to create images in GCP. In my last run there was installed new Chef version 18.7.3 (previous was 18.6.2). In this version I get error: FATAL: NameError: apt_repository[cassandra] (cassandra::default line 16) had an error: NameError: uninitialized constant Chef::Resource::AptRepository::TargetIO

My code on this line is:

  apt_repository 'cassandra' do
    uri ''
    distribution '50x'
    components ['main']
    signed_by false
    key ''
    action :add
  end

Do I do something wrong or there could be issue with Chef resource? I have seen there was some update on this apt_repository command

This issue is known from Chef team (https://github/chef/chef/issues/14934), and a PR correcting it has been merged (https://github/chef/chef/pull/14928)

So i guess, you can just wait for the next release.
