Chef (solo?) explanation for: Attribute hotspot is not defined

Hi,
I’m wrestling with starting a chef server under Vagrant 0.7, while
things ran under Vagrant 0.6.8, I think the error I’m seeing here is
related to chef (0.9.12):

Can anyone suggest what may be the cause, or how to debug this.
The Cookbooks I grab are described here:

While I don’t think this is a Vagrant file issue, the Vagrantfile is:

Appreciate any insight, or tips.

TIA

After a quick look at the recipe and attributes definition, the recipe
looks for an attribute called java.hotspot, which isn't defined
anywhere apparently.

You can either fix the recipe or find an equivalent one I guess.

what is the output from running 'ohai languages'?

For the minute, as a workaround, I've wrapped the offending code in:

That feels like a hack.

Ohai!

This is a known bug with the Java cookbook and was reported in COOK-447 [0].
That ticket also contains a temporary fix towards the bottom. Ohai
basically fails to extract the java/languages/hotspot attribute on certain
platforms [1] (CentOS I'm looking at you). Use of the "hotspot" attribute
was also fallback until languages/java/runtime [2] is properly extracted on
all platforms.

update-java-alternatives is run automatically by apt when the java related
packages are installed on Ubuntu. The only reason that logic was in there
was for the case where a person was switching back and forth between the Sun
and OpenJDK flavors on the same node. This use case seems fairly small.
For now pick your install flavor ahead of time per the README's
instructions. If you just use the contents of that gist as is you should be
good to go.
