mysql_database resource does not create database ... and chef-client -ldebug not showing any log output from database cookbook

Chef Infra (archive)

Hi Chefs,

I am trying to debug a seemingly normal and correct call to create a new
database and db user:

mysql_database “install reviewdb” do
connection mysql_info
database_name db_name
action :create
end

mysql_database_user db_username do
connection mysql_info
password db_password
database_name db_name
host db_address
action [:create, :grant]
end

I’ve validated all of the mysql_info credentials are correct, but this
code never seems to get run. Or at least, I can see no record of it
running. The database and the user never get created, and when I run
chef-client -ldebug, I see no log output at all from the database cookbook.

Can someone tell me if I’m doing something wrong or how I can see what
the database cookbook LWRPs are actually doing in the chef-client log
output?

Thanks much!

Can you paste the output of the run (with debugging turned on) somewhere?

Using mysql 3.0.2 and database 1.4.0 I’m able to use those commands with the following recipe:

recipe[testing::mysql_testing] is the only thing in my run list, the table is created and I’m able to connect as the created user.
