NoMethodError gem_package chef resource on bootstrap

nomethoderror_chef

This only seems to happen if I attempt to override the passenger version in a role or environment while bootstrapping. If I add the overrides after the bootstrap completes successfully, the block gets executed successfully.


Block in recipe:
gem_package "passenger" do
  version node[:nginx][:passenger_version]
  notifies :run, resources(:bash => "compile_nginx_source")
end


NoMethodError: gem_package[passenger] (nginx::source_with_passenger line 75) had an error: NoMethodError: undefined method `full_name' for nil:NilClass
