Symlinking issues

Ohai,

I got problems with symlink_before_migrate part - it is connected with
deploying ruby applications on a server from GitHub repository.

So, below is the snippet of code I am using

deploy “application_name” do
repo application[‘git’][‘repository’]
branch application[‘git’][‘branch’]
user "ruby"
group "ruby"
deploy_to application[‘approot’]
action :deploy
ssh_wrapper "#{application[‘approot’]}/wrap-ssh4git.sh"
symlink_before_migrate
({
“config/database.yml” => “config/database.yml”,
“config/something_else.yml” => “config/something_else.yml”
})

I get perfectly nice symlink in “current/config” directory, database.yml
points to it’s double created in “shared/config”

What bothers me and I can’t figure it out why o why is database under
current/config empty? It is full under /shared/config and that’s just
because I have filled it before deployment with embedded ruby template.
Since deployment does symlinking with current/config directory file should
be full in apps root directory and it is not.

Could you please enlighten me what am I doing wrong. Everytime I get
symlink looking like example below I know it is going to be empty on one
side.

database.yml -> /path/to/application_name/shared/config/database.yml

symlink should look like:

database.yml -> /path/to/application_name/shared/config/database.yml

Or am I wrong? I really don’t understand what part with
symlink_before_migrate did I fail so I get file empty on one side and full
on the other side

forget my question, it is resolved ..... I got just a N00b tip for you: if
you are looking into cookbooks too long you will start to read code by
memory as I did. So I got a review from an experienced Chef. I have created
files in wrong directories and that's why I got broken symlink.

Wise Chefs and other sword swallowers,

Rank beginner question, feel free to delete now and move on.

(Is there a chef newbie list – call it sous-chef? – I’d like to know about it…)

It’s about building OSX version of Chef-Server, so involves homebrew (brew) as much as chef…

But…now that you’ve been fairly warned: here’s the deal:

  1. Trying to roll my own on an i5 Sandybridge Macbook Air, Maverick 10.9
  2. hundreds of things go well and no problem using Opscode’s generous Chef server hosting, running knife, adding nodes, etc
  3. yet, cannot roll my own local chef-server from source because…cannot make erlang.
  4. cannot make (brew) erlang because – no matter what I do – I get an otp_build error on line 372 for autoconf.
  5. Yes, autoconf is there, up-to-date (fresh Xcode v5 tools!), and yes it works.

The error:

==> ./otp_build autoconf



=== running autoconf in lib

./otp_build: line 372: autoconf: command not found

Autoconf is fine:

$ autoconf --version

autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.69

Ideas welcomed…

Did you find anything relevant in the github issues for the various homebrew repos?

This one looks a lot like what you reported: https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-versions/issues/276

Good luck,

Daniel,

This works. Erlang now brews well beyond the autoconf issue. (Nice to give the Air a nice compile work out. I almost never hear the fan go on…)

I now have a “…missing sql.h…” in odbcserver.c issue I have to chase, but that’s what my github account’s for. :-))

Thanks a ton. If you’re ever around DC, come and collect your free cuppa coffee.

Appreciate the help.

That’s a whole lotta compile…
