RuntimeError with Vagrant/Chef-solo
Closed this issue · 5 comments
I am getting a runtime error when trying to install Riak onto a Vagrant VirtualBox VM using Chef-solo and Berkshelf.
The Vagrantfile is:
Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
config.berkshelf.enabled = true
config.vm.box = "precise64"
config.vm.box_url = "http://files.vagrantup.com/precise64.box"
config.vm.provision :chef_solo do |chef|
chef.add_recipe "riak"
end
end
The Berksfile is:
cookbook "riak"
Host OS: Mac OS X 10.8.3
Guest OS: Ubuntu 12.04
Vagrant: 1.2.2
Chef: 10.14.2
I may be missing something obvious, but am kind of new to Chef.
The chef output when running vagrant up is:

Hey @jgoodall,
It looks like Riak's dependent cookbooks aren't being pulled down. The apt_repository resource is part of the apt cookbook.
You may need to install the following Vagrant plugin for Berkself [0]. It automatically uses Berkshelf to resolve dependencies before Vagrant runs.
Another recommendation would be to use the following Vagrant box, produced by Opscode, for a more recent version of Chef [1].
[0] https://github.com/riotgames/vagrant-berkshelf
[1] https://opscode-vm.s3.amazonaws.com/vagrant/opscode_ubuntu-12.04_chef-11.4.4.box
The vagrant-berkshelf plugin is installed:
$ vagrant plugin list
vagrant-berkshelf (1.2.0)
Berkshelf seems to be doing its thing correctly - I clipped the output, but here is the output:

I will try a different disk image.
After a bit more work trying to reproduce this issue, it looks like version 1.8.2+ of apt cookbook requires Chef 10.16.4 or greater. Because we haven't pinned a specific version of the apt cookbook, it's pulling the most current version (1.9.2 in this case).
If you only upgrade Chef, you'll see an error message similar to this:

This appears to be caused by the older version of Ruby installed on the box (1.8.7).
If you want to continue using this Vagrant box, I used the following commands to get a current version of Ruby and Chef installed via Omnibus:
$ sudo apt-get install curl
$ curl -L https://www.opscode.com/chef/install.sh | sudo bash
After that, everything should work.
Thank you! Using a different box (from ubuntu) and installing chef fixed the problem. Below is the Vagrantfile I ended up using that works.
Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
config.berkshelf.enabled = true
config.vm.box = "precise-server-cloudimg-amd64-vagrant-disk1"
config.vm.box_url = "http://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/vagrant/precise/20130523/precise-server-cloudimg-amd64-vagrant-disk1.box"
# Install latest Chef
config.vm.provision :shell, :inline => "curl -L https://www.opscode.com/chef/install.sh | sudo bash"
config.vm.provision :chef_solo do |chef|
chef.add_recipe "riak"
end
end
Might be worth noting that the shell provisioner line for installing Chef can be done via this plugin as well [0].
