Chef-Cookbook creation

WEINHAPL_Andreas · March 14, 2011, 1:44pm

Hi all,

I have just a little question about knife?! At the installation of the server you have to configure knife with “knife configure -I” You will locate the different *.pem files aso. After that you are able to create a new cookbook with:
" knife cookbook create test04"
** Creating cookbook test04
** Creating README for cookbook: test04
** Creating metadata for cookbook: test04

After playing with GIT and the root user I will get this if I try to create a new cookbook:
** Creating cookbook vendor
/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/chef/knife/cookbook_create.rb:90:in initialize': No such file or directory - ~/chef-repo/cookbooks/vendor/recipes/default.rb (Errno::ENOENT) from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/chef/knife/cookbook_create.rb:90:inopen’
from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/chef/knife/cookbook_create.rb:90:in create_cookbook' from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/chef/knife/cookbook_create.rb:74:inrun’
from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/chef/knife.rb:127:in run' from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/chef/application/knife.rb:121:inrun’
from /usr/bin/knife:25

Can anybody help me with this problem?! I did a reconfigure of the knife but without success!!

Knife.rb is thath:
“
log_level :info
log_location STDOUT
node_name 'xxx’
client_key '/home/xxx/chef-repo/.chef/thales.pem’
validation_client_name 'chef-validator’
validation_key '/etc/chef/validation.pem’
chef_server_url 'http://serverxx.domain:4000’
cache_type 'BasicFile’
cache_options( :path => ‘/home/xxx/chef-repo/.chef/checksums’ )
cookbook_path [ ‘~/chef-repo/cookbooks’, ‘~/chef-repo/site-cookbooks’ ]
”

Regards
Andreas

Hi AJ,

Sry If the question is a little bit confusing: Where should I paste the line "File.expand_path("~/some/shit")" because the strange thing is that on my first chef-server I didn't get this problem!

I think there is an easier way to solve this issue:
Knife.rb (won't work)
cookbook_path [ '~/chef-repo/cookbooks', '~/chef-repo/site-cookbooks' ]

Knife.rb (works really good)
cookbook_path [ '/home/xxx/chef-repo/cookbooks', '/home/chef-repo/site-cookbooks' ]

I just use the absolute path for the cookbook..

Many thanks for your help But please explain your method.

Regards
Andreas
