I am trying to use the ssh provisioning driver in build-cookbook::provision. If I do:
require 'chef/provisioning/ssh_driver'
with_driver 'ssh'
I get a load error (i.e. the gem isnt installed). However, if I logon to the build node and do chef gem install chef-provisioning-ssh
, the problem remains, so I assume it’s working off a different gem path.
I then tried adding:
chef_gem 'chef-provisioning-aws'
....
This gave me an error about not being able to write to the provisioning/ssh directory in the acceptance workspace. I logged onto the build node and created the provisioning directory (with ownership dbuild) and the provision phase ran successfully, but after that the whole build node was completely broken. No phases would run at all (“Could not start phase run. No build nodes available”). The only thing I could do was destroy the build node and recreate it.
So hoping someone can point me in the right direction before I trash more stuff.
