[chef] Re: Re: Re: Re: chef (solo?) explanation for: Attribute hotspot is not defined

[Seth Chisamore < >]

Ohai!

This is a known bug with the Java cookbook and was reported in COOK-447 [0].  That ticket also contains a temporary fix towards the bottom.  Ohai basically fails to extract the java/languages/hotspot attribute on certain platforms [1] (CentOS I'm looking at you).  Use of the "hotspot" attribute was also fallback until languages/java/runtime [2] is properly extracted on all platforms.

For the minute, as a workaround, I've wrapped the offending code in:

if node.languages.java.attribute?('hotspot')
...
end

That feels like a hack.

Open to suggestions, and helping to debug the cause of this.

TIA
