I loaded up the Jenkins cookbook, which requires Java. I’m getting this
error the first time I run the java cookbook:

It’s behaving as if none of the attribute files are being loaded. If I add
node[‘java’][‘install_flavor’] = openjdk (I’m on CentOS), I get another
error about an attribute being null. Repeat, repeat…
I’m using chef-solo and I have ‘depends java’ in my cookbook. Any ideas?
Thanks!
