Chef - ohai unable to find README file

Question

Just did a chef-solo run. I have my cookbook defined in ~/chef-repo/cookbooks/my-cookbook, and all the dependencies were installed by berkshelf in ~/.berkshelf/cookbooks

chef-solo -c solo.rb -j params.json

I keep running into an error from ohai. I gather that ohai is a library that provides environment configurations, and my nginx-2.7.6 cookbook relies on ohai (2.0.1).

[2015-06-25T15:19:08-04:00] DEBUG: RuntimeError: remote_directory[/etc/chef/ohai_plugins for cookbook ohai] (ohai::default line 33) had an error: RuntimeError: cookbook_file[/etc/chef/ohai_plugins/README] (dynamically defined) had an error: RuntimeError: File files/default/plugins/README does not exist for cookbook ohai

I've looked into /etc/chef/ohai and it's right that there's no README there (that folder is empty, in fact). Not sure what it's looking for or how to solve this error.

Thanks!

According to ohai's supermarket readme it must be the first item on your runlist https://supermarket.chef.io/cookbooks/ohai#readme

Give that a shot and see if it works.
