Vagrant & Chef - Cookbook *** not found

Question

I am trying to set up a simple development VM using vagrant and Chef as a provisioner. I am able to install chef using shell provisioner but it seems to me that the folder with chef recipes does not get mounted to the VM. It keeps complaining that cookbook *** not found. Here is my vagrant file and output I am getting

# -*- mode: ruby -*-
# vi: set ft=ruby :

Vagrant::Config.run do |config|
  # This strange method defines the name of the Vagrant Machine
  config.vm.define "SubscriptionAPI" do |foobar|
  end

  # Every Vagrant virtual environment requires a box to build off of.
  config.vm.box = "chef/centos-6.5"

  # The url from where the 'config.vm.box' box will be fetched if it
  # doesn't already exist on the user's system.
  # config.vm.box_url = "http://puppet-vagrant-boxes.puppetlabs.com/centos-65-x64-virtualbox-nocm.box"

  # Boot with a GUI so you can see the screen. (Default is headless)
  # config.vm.boot_mode = :gui

  # Assign this VM to a host-only network IP, allowing you to access it
  # via the IP. Host-only networks can talk to the host machine as well as
  # any other machines on the same network, but cannot be accessed (through this
  # network interface) by any external networks.
  config.vm.network :hostonly, "192.168.99.101"

  # Assign this VM to a bridged network, allowing you to connect directly to a
  # network using the host's network device. This makes the VM appear as another
  # physical device on your network.
  # config.vm.network :bridged

  # Forward a port from the guest to the host, which allows for outside
  # computers to access the VM, whereas host only networking does not.
  config.vm.forward_port 80, 8080
  config.vm.forward_port 443, 44343

  # Share an additional folder to the guest VM. The first argument is
  # an identifier, the second is the path on the guest to mount the
  # folder, and the third is the path on the host to the actual folder.
  # config.vm.share_folder "www", "/www", "../www"

  # Make sure the chef is intalled to the VM
  config.vm.provision "shell", path: "provisioning/utils/tools/install_chef.bash"

  # Enable provisioning with chef solo, specifying a cookbooks path, roles
  # path, and data_bags path (all relative to this Vagrantfile), and adding 
  # some recipes and/or roles.
  #
  config.vm.provision :chef_solo do |chef|
    chef.roles_path = "provisioning/chef/roles"
    chef.cookbooks_path = "provisioning/chef/cookbooks"
    chef.add_role "vagrant-test-box"

  #  chef.cookbooks_path = "provisioning/chef/cookbooks"
  #  chef.add_recipe "httpd"
  #  chef.roles_path = "chef/roles"
  #  chef.data_bags_path = "chef/databags"
  #  chef.add_role "devbox"
  #
  #   # You may also specify custom JSON attributes:
  #   chef.json = { :mysql_password => "foo" }
  end

  config.vm.host_name = "subscriptionapi"

end

The output

It's been forever I am trying to fix the issue by digging the Internet and checking different sorts of permissions over and over again - and still no luck

I found the problem. It was vagrant-berkshelf plugin causing the issue. Uninstalling it made everything work flawlessly
