Hi All,
Hopefully this is a silly question and I’ve just overlooked something in
the docs, but I am attempting to use the deploy_revision resource for the
first time, and I’m having a bit of trouble with the lack of 'current’
being created.
Reading the docs, it says that ‘shared’, ‘releases’ and ‘current’ will be
created, but in my case, only ‘shared’ and ‘releases’ were created, with no
errors and no ‘current’ to be found.
Is there some option I need to enable or some flag I must pass in order for
’current’ to appear?
Thank you!
Brian
Hey Brian,
Looking at the code that handles the creation of the 'current' symbolic
link it should create a link that points to the
releases/. See the code
here.https://github.com/opscode/chef/blob/master/lib/chef/provider/deploy.rb#L286
Can you paste the code from your recipe? What version of chef are using?
Thanks,
Your Buddy

Can you also include the section of your chef log that executes this piece?
It may provide some useful info, if not try running in verbose/debug mode.

So for some reason making a random change and redeploying caused the
'current' symlink to appear.

Nice, it still may be worth looking at the logs though for the last run
that didn't create the symlink. Either way glad it's working now.
