"Cookbook user not found"

[christiangenco]

I'm in the process of learning Chef, so this probably isn't an error with chef-user, but I'm hoping someone here can help me out.

I clone this repo into cookbooks with cd cookbooks && git clone git://github.com/fnichol/chef-user.git, so now I have a ./cookbooks/chef-user.

Then I add recipe[user::data_bag] to my run_list, so the contents of my run_list are:

{
  "run_list":["recipe[user::data_bag]", "recipe[main]"]
}

Then I add ./data_bags/users/cgenco.json and put some stuff in it.

Then I try to cook it with knife solo:

$ knife solo cook root@XX.XX.XXX.XXX

What am I doing wrong? D:

You probably have the cookbook in cookbooks/chef-user instead of cookbooks/user. Renaming the cookbook folder should fix that for you.

@christiangenco I hope Chef has treated you well over the years. :)

This issue has been dormant for awhile so I'm going to close it. Please don't hesitate to open a new issue if you need anything.
