Berk depedency with kitchen ci


I cannot figure out to make my cookbook run correctly with kitchen ci. This is what I wrote and execute:

kitchen.yml

driver:
  name: docker
  binary: docker
  use_sudo: false

provisioner:
  name: chef_zero
  always_update_cookbooks: true
  chef_repo_path: ../..
  nodes: ../../nodes

platforms:
  - name: ubuntu-16.04
    driver_plugin: docker

suites:
  - name: default
    data_bags_path: "../../data_bags"
    encrypted_data_bag_secret_key_path: "../../data_bags/secrets/bitbucket.json"
    run_list:
            - recipe[redmine_test]

verifier:
  name: inspec

Berksfile in my cookbook folder:

source 'https://supermarket.chef.io'
metadata
cookbook 'nginx', '~> 2.7.6'
cookbook 'logrotate', '~> 1.9.2'

Commands that I run:

$ berks vendor
$ kitchen create && kitchen converge -l debug

This is the error I get:
 ================================================================================
       Recipe Compile Error in /tmp/kitchen/cache/cookbooks/redmine_test/recipes/default.rb
       ================================================================================

       NoMethodError

        69:  
        70:  directory "redmine_repos" do
        71:    path lazy { "#{node['etc']['passwd'][node['redmine']['user']]['dir']}/repos" }
        72:    owner node['redmine']['user']
        73>>   group node['nginx']['group']
        74:    mode 02775
        75:  end
        76:  

How come do I get this error? whereas the group node['nginx']['group'] variable is well defined in the nginx cookbook that has been vendored.

Thanks


Solution

  • nginx cookbook has to be part (depends nginx) of your metadata.rb. Or it has to be on your run_list.

    Also, 2.7.6 is pretty old, there is 7.x already.
