Why I need to set mysql root password MANUAL when using mysql recipes(opscode) in my cookbook?

I created a redmine cookbook, that setups redmine.

First of all my cookbook installing mysql and creating a apporative
database redmine:

See my first recipe in a runlist of redmine server names database.rb:

Setup mysql client packages - need for mysql::server recipe

include_recipe "mysql::client"

If mysql server is not installed.

if ! ::File.exists?("/usr/sbin/mysqld") then

 # Fix bug in recipe mainline. When we use credmine::purgeall and 

the rerun chef-client error occurs: "No such file or directory"
directory "/etc/mysql" do
owner "mysql"
group "mysql"
mode 0700
action :create
end

 # Setup security
 node.set['mysql']['remove_test_database'] = true

 # Normally, root should only be allowed to connect from 

'localhost'. This ensures that someone cannot guess at the root password
from the network.
node.set['mysql']['remove_anonymous_users'] = true

 # If true Sets root access from '%'. If false deletes any 

non-localhost root users.
node.set['mysql']['allow_remote_root'] = true

 # Setup mysql server by security parameters seted in 

credmine::_loaddatabags
include_recipe "mysql::server"

 # Prepare chef ruby environment(install some gems) for using LWRP 

at this machine
include_recipe "database::mysql"

 # Restart mysql server with new parameters.
 service "mysql" do
   action [ :enable, :restart ]
 end

end

Using database cookbook idemponent LWRP's

mysql_connection_info = {:host => "localhost", :username => "root",
:password => node['mysql']['server_root_password']}

Using database cookbook ::: to create redmine database

mysql_database node.run_state['redmine-mysql-name'] do
connection mysql_connection_info
action :create
end

At the last action mysql_database node.run_state['redmine-mysql-name']
do recipe stops with error:

I changed password in log to (ahgdfyasrbiywerfybweufy) of course instead

And I need to insert my own reset password code before mysql_database

Like this:

TODO may be off this recipe

bash "change_mysql_root_password" do
cwd "/tmp"
code <<-EOH

sleep 3

User='root'; " >> /tmp/mysql_flush_root.sql
# Update privileges in memmory, because if we don't
do this old password be valied instead of new.
echo "flush privileges;" >> /tmp/mysql_flush_root.sql
sleep 5

rm /tmp/mysql_flush_root.sql
kill -TERM $(cat /tmp/mysqld_safe.pid);
sleep 2
service mysql start
else exit 0;
fi
EOH
end


This recipe verifies the password that I set into a variable
node['mysql']['server_root_password'] earlier in _loaddatabags recipe.
Which is running before this database creation of course.

Well I am not understand how I can check why lwrp don't setup a mysql
with needed password and don't use this smart hack ))) ?

Not sure what's causing this error for you, but here's how I install MySQL
in my recipe. I'm using Chef server, not Chef solo.

In my cookbook's metadata.rb:

depends "database"
depends "mysql"

In my cookbook's recipe (note that I didn't put these under any "if"
statement):

Install MySQL

include_recipe "mysql::server"
include_recipe "mysql::client"
include_recipe "database::mysql"

Create database

mysql_connection_info = {:host => 'localhost', :username => 'root',
:password => node[:mysql][:server_root_password]}
mysql_database 'mydb' do
connection mysql_connection_info
action :create
end

Create tables

mysql_database 'mydb' do
connection mysql_connection_info
sql { ::File.open("#{$mydir}/mytables.sql").read }
action :query
end

Create user

mysql_database_user 'myuser' do
connection mysql_connection_info
password 'mypass'
action :create
end

Grant privileges to user

mysql_database_user 'myuser' do
connection mysql_connection_info
password 'mypass'
database_name 'mydb'
host '%'
privileges [:all]
action :grant
end

Hope this helps.
