Vagrant's add_role not working

Chef Infra (archive)
1

This may be more of a vagrant question, but, I have this in my Vagrantfile:

config.vm.provision :chef_solo do |chef|
chef.node_name = "test01.slicetest.com"
chef.environment = "dev"
chef.cookbooks_path = "…/…/chef-cookbooks"
chef.data_bags_path = "…/…/chef-sauce/data_bags"
chef.environments_path = "…/…/chef-sauce/environments"
chef.roles_path = "…/…/chef-sauce/roles"
chef.add_role (“role-base”)
chef.run_list = [
“recipe[slice-swap::default]”
]
end

The chef.add_role() isn’t working. The roles_path above it is valid. I
tried chef.add_role(“bogus”) and there was no error reported. It seems the
role just isn’t there. This is vagrant 1.6.5 and chef 11.14.0.alpha.1

I’m pretty sure I saw somewhere that roles support is broken in vagrant 1.6 — might check their github project…

Tara,

Oh, lovely.

I moved the add_role after the chef.run_list. Error changed to:

"Chef::Exceptions::DuplicateRole: Multiple roles of same type found named
role-base"

I then tried the more old fashioned:

chef.run_list = [
    "role[role-base]",
    "recipe[slice-swap::default]"
]

STILL getting ""Chef::Exceptions::DuplicateRole: Multiple roles of same
type found named role-base""

Sigh.

What we do instead is just use the run_list, and any attributes we might have put in the role we just shove directly in the Vagrantfile.

Good luck!

Tara,

Mileage varies a lot. I don't like that approach. I'd rather have the
recipe use the same source of data for testing with vagrant as when it runs
on the EC2 instance, otherwise I'm not really testing it properly if I'm
copying and pasting attributes into the Vagrantfile.

Doug.

ALTERNATIVELY,

Replace the role with a wrapper-cookbook that contains "include_recipe foo"
for each item in the role.
Then Douglas's suggestion will work (you use recipes, instead of) with your
requirement (works using same logic/source-of-truth as production)

sorry, forgot to say, that you would use the "run_list wrapper-cookbook"
