I am writing a wrapper cookbook (lamp) for the same purpose I also written an another cookbook(lamp_app) to utilize the recipes from wrapper cookbook. I face an issue regarding the dependency list present in lamp_app cookbook.
Here is the metadata.rb
name 'lamp_app'
maintainer 'The Authors'
maintainer_email 'you@example.com'
license 'All Rights Reserved'
description 'Installs/Configures lamp_app'
long_description 'Installs/Configures lamp_app'
version '1.0.0'
chef_version '>= 14.0'
depends 'lamp', '=1.0.0'
Policyfile.rb file
# A name that describes what the system you're building with Chef does.
name 'lamp_app'
# Where to find external cookbooks:
default_source :supermarket
# run_list: chef-client will run these recipes in the order specified.
run_list 'lamp_app::default'
# Specify a custom source for a single cookbook:
cookbook 'lamp', path: '../lamp'
After running chef install command within the new cookbook lamp_app it gives the below error
root@testworkstation:~/chef-repo/cookbooks/lamp_app# chef install
Building policy lamp_app
Expanded run list: recipe[lamp_app::default]
