Can you run both a .sh file and chef_solo?

I’m guessing the answer is no because that is what I am experiencing, but I
am trying to do this:

config.vm.provision :shell, :path => “bootstrap.sh”

config.vm.provision :chef_solo do |chef|
chef.cookbooks_path = [“cookbooks”]
chef.roles_path = "roles"
chef.add_role "base"
chef.add_role "webserver"
end

I am using a bootstrap script for simple thing like:

sudo apt-get update -y && sudo apt-get upgrade -y
sudo apt-get install -y wget build-essential
sudo apt-get install -y htop tree
sudo apt-get install -y apache2-utils sysstat

But it seems the cookbooks part isn’t running, actually when I do run this
using:

vagrant up

By the end of it, my screen has what looks like chinese script on it and I
have to close and open a new terminal.

Anyhow, just wondering if you guys run a bootstrap type script before chef
in your vagrant testing etc.

You definitely can run more than one provisioner (see “Multiple
Provisioners” here), and you’re defining them correctly as far as I can
tell. There must be some other issue. Do you have some output you could
share?

I'm running this on precise32 (mac osx, vagrant)

This is what happends to my terminl during a 'vagrant up' run, and it seems
chef doesn't run at all.

config.vm.provision :shell, :path => "bootstrap.sh"

config.vm.provision :chef_solo do |chef|
chef.cookbooks_path = ["cookbooks"]
chef.add_recipe "graphite"
end

bootstrap.sh is:

sudo apt-get update -y && sudo apt-get upgrade -y
sudo apt-get install -y wget build-essential
sudo apt-get install -y htop tree
sudo apt-get install -y apache2-utils sysstat

Interesting. I just tried it out and I got similar results. What appears to
be happening is that you've encountered two issues. Running apt-get
upgrade attempts
to upgrade the package "grub-pc" among others which complains about the
virtual machine disk's UUID changing for some reason. This complaint does
two things:

  1. Prompts for your input which pauses your shell provisioner
  2. Messes up your terminal somehow (perhaps with its pinkness?)

Following advice from
herehttp://serverfault.com/questions/479571/running-apt-get-upgrade-with-chef-solo
I
was able to get it to work by replacing the first line of your bootstrap.sh to
the rather frightening:

sudo apt-get update && sudo DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get -y
-o Dpkg::Options::="--force-confdef" -o
Dpkg::Options::="--force-confold" upgrade

But you might consider filing a bug with regard to the console mangling
with Vagrant.
