Additional Notes:

If I specify nil for the device, I get a warning about Chef 12 vs Chef 13 behavior and the upcoming deprecation of get vs set.

If I specify '' (an empty string), I don't get a warning and it succeeds.

Seems like I should be able to not have to specify device at all if I'm doing a :delete.

I am encountering the same error message when attempting to execute the :snapshot action on an EBS volume. This occurred immediately after updating the version of the aws cookbook from version 2.7.2, to 2.9.2 in our environments. I am running chef-client version 12.6.0 .

Is it known whether this same behavior occurs in later versions of the aws cookbbok?

Should specifying a 'device' be required when creating a snapshot?

[shanedownes]

I confirmed that specifying the device as an empty string, as mentioned above, resolves this issue, when executing the :snapshot action.

This fails in a new/different way now. I've been looking into it. Thanks for reporting the issue.

Any chance this can get fixed? I tried to delete a volume and it says "Cannot delete volume vol-XXXX as it is currently attached to 1 node(s)". If I'm deattaching it first, then I'm getting
volume_id attribute not set and no volume id is set in the node data for this resource (which is populated by action :create) and no volume is attached at the device

Is there a way to deattach and delete the volume?
