Kitchen Converge Fails for CentOS & Ubuntu

Closed this issue · 7 comments

ChaseDickinson commented

Attempting to work through one of the new learning courses, and I've run into an issue with the kitchen converge command. It fails for both the CentOS & Ubuntu servers.

Describe the problem

Following the provided course instructions when I attempt to execute the kitchen converge command, it fails with the following errors:

Software Version

Chef Workstation version: 20.6.62
Chef Infra Client version: 16.1.16
Chef InSpec version: 4.19.0
Chef CLI version: 3.0.4
Test Kitchen version: 2.5.1
Cookstyle version: 6.7.3
VirtualBox: 6.1.10r138449
Vagrant: 2.2.9

Replication Case

Follow the steps provided in the course.

Possible Solution

My guess is there's some kind of bug in the 16.1.16 version of the Chef client, but I don't know where to pin the version in my Chef code to test that hypothesis.

A few other things I've tried:

  • Found how to set require_chef_omnibus attribute; tested versions 16.1.0 and 15.11.8 and both fail in the same way as the current stable version
  • Downgraded the OS platforms from Ubuntu 20.04 to Ubuntu 18.04 and CentOS 8 to CentOS 7; both still fail with the same errors
  • Cleared my .kitchen/cache/ folder to force a fresh download; no change

I'm running into the same issue when attempting to converge the sous-chef/tomcat cookbook on centos-7 with Chef 14.15.6.

I've verified that the sha256sum of the file that gets download matches the metadata json that is published, so I'm not sure what's causing the mismatch.

So interestingly for myself, I had an explicit cache_directory: "C:\\omnibus\\cache" since I typically am using Windows boxes.

I threw a cache_directory: false at the driver level in the repo kitchen.local.yml I had configured, and now the check mismatch did not occur.

I'll have to do some more testing to see if having any cache directory defined is what is causing the problem or possibly just that mine was a bit odd (it did create a folder named C:\omnibus\cache that the rpm was downloaded to).

Tried again from Ubuntu 20.04 machine with Chef Workstation version 20.7.81, and it things are working fine. Closing.

Apparently, this is something that I feel is caused by poor internet or an interrupt from user which makes chef, miss few packets while converging and then saves other locally in a cache, which further throws package checksum mismatch issue while converging again.

Deleting contents of "cache folder" files from ".knife" folder worked for me..
