I am trying to set mysql root password from using chef recipe. Below is the code. But i am getting error.

mysql_service 'default' do
  port '3306'
  version '5.7.24'
  initial_root_password 'test@123'
  action [:create, :start]
end

NoMethodError: undefined method `mysql_service' for cookbook

I don't use mysql cookbook chef supermarket. Installation steps are included below. How can i do this?

directory '/opt/mysql' do
  owner 'root'
  group 'root'
  mode '0755'
  action :create
end

remote_file "/opt/mysql/mysql57-community-release-el7-9.noarch.rpm" do
   source "https://dev.mysql.com/get/mysql/mysql57-community-release-el7-9.noarc                                                                                        h.rpm"

Hi Janith,

What is the current chef-client version? Mysql_service resource is not so old so I am defiantly sure that you want to upgrade the chef-client package first.

Thank,
