Ark does not support xz by default when using nodejs_from_binary
tanner-bruce opened this issue · 6 comments
If the xz binary is not pre-installed nodejs_from_binary will fail with the following output:
55: ark archive_name do
56: url nodejs_bin_url
57: version node['nodejs']['version']
58: checksum checksum
59: has_binaries binaries
60: action :install
61: end

should be gz, not xz looks like a typo to me..
xz is not a typo.
your right, I did look back at newer releases, however I was installing a really old version, where there were no archives built using xz,
What version of the ark cookbook are you running. 1.0+ should have xz support
I'm realizing the design of the ark cookbook is pretty lacking here and I'm going to tackle that there, but for now I'm switched back to .tar.gz here since all the nodejs releases are still showing as .tar.gz
Thanks! I would agree the ark cookbook is lacking, it's functionality is non-obvious. We tend to use poise-archive for all things archive.
