Replica set not initiated due to : WARN: Could not connect to database: 'localhost:27017', reason: uninitialized constant Mongo::ConnectionFailure

[vijay32]

I am trying to setup mongodb replica sets using this cookbook. Installation and configuration went fine except for the error message:

ruby_block[config_replicaset] action create[2015-06-12T15:38:43+05:30] WARN: Could not connect to database: 'localhost:27017', reason: uninitialized constant Mongo::ConnectionFailure

The error indicates, it cannot connect to the mongo instance, however the server is started and I am able to connect to it.
