Can not create a machine with Vagrant and Chef

Question

I'm trying to create a Ubuntu machine with Vagrant and Chef Solo. So, I've created a simple Vagrantfile and a simple recipe, just to test it. But I'm facing with the following error message:

Recipe Compile Error in /tmp/vagrant-chef/71c53eb7bf7c3d22bf315b2652372569/cookbooks/teste/recipes/default.rb

==> default: NoMethodError ==> default: undefined method `[]' for nil:NilClass

Below there are my files:

Vagrantfile

Vagrant.configure(2) do |config|
  config.vm.box = "ubuntu/trusty64"

  config.berkshelf.enabled = true
  config.berkshelf.berksfile_path = "./cookbooks/teste/Berksfile"

  config.vm.provision "chef_solo" do |chef|
   chef.install = false
   chef.add_recipe "teste"
  end
end

You need to add depends 'apt' and depends 'java' to the metadata of your cookbook. Then remove the cookbook lines in the Berksfile as they are redundant.
