Artifact file download, Not working

Chef Infra (archive)
1

Hi,

I am trying to understand the artifact cookbook.

knife cookbook list | grep artifact
artifact        1.12.2

I am using it in another very simple cookbook

artifact = "/opt/file.zip"
artifact_file artifact do
  location  "http://192.168.1.71/data/artifacts/lacegant.zip"
  owner "root"
  group "root"
  action :create
end

metadata.rb has, depends 'artifact'

I get below Error on the chef client run,

chef-client --once
Starting Chef Client, version 11.8.2

You need to specify the dependency on the artifact cookbook in your staticsite cookbook’s metadata.rb

See the depends section in here: https://docs.chef.io/config_rb_metadata.html

Hi,

Thanks for the reply,

name 'staticsite'
maintainer 'The Authors'
maintainer_email 'you@example.com'
license 'all_rights'
description 'Installs/Configures staticsite'
long_description 'Installs/Configures staticsite'
version '0.1.0'

depends 'artifact'

this is the metadata.rb file, I have already included that.

Am I missing any dependency or something while using the artifact cookbook ?

As I understand It just doesn’t see the resource artifact_file

Please consider this issue as closed. I tried the same on “manage.chef.io” it just worked fine.
Seems like some issue with the server I installed locally.
