deploy_revision getting stack level too deep

Chef Infra (archive)
1

I’m running into a weird issue that hasn’t come up for me in previous
cookbooks…

I’m getting:

SystemStackError

stack level too deep

from the deploy_revision provider.

I am having a rather difficult time getting anything meaningful out of
it in terms of debugging information.
Any ideas? What more info can I provide that might help?

Centos 6.4, chef 11.4.4 (can’t switch to 11.6+ yet because my new file
provider broke my code… i know… ironic…)

do you have recursion somewhere in the code? can u share the debug logs?

maybe something in the method_missing overrides?

here's a cleaner version of the code that is still failing:

53: deploy_revision("idp") do
54: deploy_to "/srv/idp"
55: scm_provider Chef::Provider::File::Deploy
56: repo "/srv/war_download/foo.war"
57: end

the log output with debug:

Ah hah!

Chef::Provider::File::Deploy is in application_java/libraries, and
application_java wasn't loaded on the vm.

would be nice if the scm_provider change, pointing at something that
didn't exist, gave a classnotfound exception instead of "stack level
too deep"

This is definitely a bug, might be an error in a const_missing handler we have set up for back compat.
