I am getting this error while trying to run the Java cookbook on OSX (

I believe that the package resource is trying to find MacPorts to
install the package and failing at it.
But, the underlying problem might be lack of support for OS X by the
coobkook, as per https://github.com/agileorbit-cookbooks/java

Have a look at GitHub - sous-chefs/homebrew: Development repository for the homebrew cookbook,
especially the additional Homebrew Casks.

Hope this helps.

Krzysztof

Hello,

As Krzysztof said, the default package provider on OS X when using Chef 11
or earlier is Macports, so the package resource is attempting to determine
the state of the "openjdk-6-jdk" package using the "port" command. Since
you don't have Macports installed, that fails.

However, it's worth noting that the java cookbook does not support OS X for
Java installation at this time. Since Apple makes Java installation
available through their own means0, I don't know that it would be in
scope to attempt to support it using the "package" resource.

Also note that in Chef 12, homebrew will be the default package provider
for OS X[1].

That's correct, the Java cookbook does not support OS X as a platform
because the installation mechanism is so different.

I've attempted to automate Mac Java installs in Chef before, so this
code might be of interest to you. I can't guarantee that it still
works as it's about a year old and Apple changes things all the time.

Thanks.
I will try out the cookbook suggested by Julian. I am trying to install
IntelliJ using Chef so would have to make some more changes.

I haven’t tested this, but you could also try the Homebrew Cask: https://github.com/caskroom/homebrew-cask/blob/master/Casks/intellij-idea-ce.rb https://github.com/caskroom/homebrew-cask/blob/master/Casks/intellij-idea-ce.rb
