RE: cookbook yum not found

Chef Infra (archive)

Hi,

I’m running my chef-solo on ubuntu 12.04 (worked on previous versions), and
I am getting this error:

Starting Chef Client, version 11.4.0
Compiling Cookbooks…
[2013-02-18T20:05:17+00:00] ERROR: Running exception handlers

Cookbook yum not found. If you’re loading yum from another cookbook, make
sure you configure the dependency in your metadata

On thing to note, I was using chef 10.16.2 before also.

Is there a trace mode that I can figure out exactly which cookbook is
giving this error?

I’m guessing some recipe has a bug in its ability to figure out I am using
ubuntu (which uses apt).

what does your run list look like?
and the metadata for your cookbook that tries to use yum?

one of the breaking changes in chef 11 was that it no longer adds all
recipes when running chef-solo, you have to explicitly specify that you
want it in either metadata.rb or the run list
"For Chef Solo users, the new loading logic means that files belonging
to cookbooks which exist in the
cookbook_path but are not in the expanded run_list or dependencies of
the cookbooks in the
expanded run_list will no longer be loaded"

try adding recipe[yum] to your run list.

if that works, either you're done, or if you want to help out other folks,
try to figure out which recipe has an include_recipe['yum'], as it needs to
have the metadata.rb updated to add in a depends 'yum'

(you have the yum cookbook downloaded in your cookbooks folder, right?)

The 'git' cookbook has a dependency on yum that must be provided,
although generally, won't be executed on your Ubuntu system by way of
a case statement or similar. [0]

Much appreciated!

Adding yum fixed it.
