Execution Chef Cookbook using chef-solo

Question

I am trying to execute chef solo on my windows vm locally using Powershell. (I am trying to execute cookbook during provisioning customise Windows VM on cloud) All cookbook recipe dependencies are available within the cookbook.

Create solo.rb for recipe execution & web.json to run recipe.

"type": "powershell",
"inline": "chef-client --chef-license=accept -z -o cookbooks\\cookbook_workstation"

Error:

• WARN: Failed to read the private key C:\chef\client.pem: #<Errno::ENOENT: No such file or directory @ rb_sysopen - C:\chef\client.pem>
• WARN: Error while reporting run start to Data Collector. URL: https://localhost:443/data-collector Exception: No HTTP Code -- I cannot read C:\chef\client.pem, which you told me to use to sign requests!
• FATAL: NoMethodError: undefined method logger' for nil:NilClass <internal:warning>:43:in warn': warning: Chef::Compliance::Runner#logger at C:/opscode/chef/embedded/lib/ruby/2.7.0/forwardable.rb:154 forwarding to private method NilClass#logger (StructuredWarnings::BuiltInWarning)

Using chef-solo so I don't need chef server - how can I overcome client.pem WARN and logger issue. Pointers would be very helpful
