Chef Metal Destroying Instances - undefined local variable or method `iam_endpoint'

Chef Infra (archive)
1

I’m trying to destroy (delete? some docs say it’s ‘destroy’ while other say
’delete’) EC2 instances started with chef-metal.

Here’s the destroy recipe, pretty simple:

require 'chef_metal’
with_chef_server “https://chef01.prod.slicetest.com:443”, {
:client_name => Chef::Config[:node_name],
:signing_key_filename => Chef::Config[:client_key]
}
machine “mongo-cfg01.dev-volatile.slicetest.com” do
action :destroy
end

and here’s what I get when I run it:

================================================================================
Error executing action destroy on resource ‘machine[
mongo-cfg01.dev-volatile.slicetest.com]’

NameError

undefined local variable or method `iam_endpoint’ for
ChefMetalFog::Providers::AWS:Class

Resource Declaration:

In /Users/doug/git/chef/chef-metal/mongo-dev-volatile-down.rb

9: machine “mongo-cfg01.dev-volatile.slicetest.com” do
10: action :destroy
11: end
12: #end

Can’t get much simpler than that. What am I doing wrong?

Doug,

Would you mind opening a GitHub ticket for either chef-metal or the driver
that you're using (whichever fits better, which in this case seems to be
the fog driver)? That way we can prioritize and keep better track of it .

It looks like a bug in the code, have you looked at that provider? It references iam_endpoint[0] but only default_iam_endpoint is defined in that method. If I’m reading it right, you can make it use the right endpoint by setting AWS_IAM_URL.

You should open an issue[1], ideally attempt fixing it yourself. The code is open source, you’re welcome to contribute something back.

John,

Opened an issue:

Would attempt to fix it myself but I can honestly say that after 16 years
in the business, ruby is about the hardest language I've ever had to learn.
If it was in python or something I'd take a stab at it. Not rubishing
ruby.... ruby and I just don't get along.
