[chef] Re: chef-solo not finding the users cookbook.

[Sahil R Cooner < >]

I believe this has something to do with search paths for cookbooks and specifying something to that effect during the runtime of a chef-solo run.

Be handy to have a copy of the stack-trace?

Chef::Exceptions::CookbookNotFound: Cookbook recipe[users not found.

If you're loading recipe[users from another cookbook, make sure you

configure the dependency in your metadata

The cookbook is there in the cookbooks directory and is untouched. The

base role looks like this

name "base"

description "Base role applied to all nodes."

run_list(

"recipe[sudo]",

"recipe[apt]",

"recipe[git]",

"recipe[build-essential]" ,

"recipe[users::sysadmins"

)

override_attributes(

:authorization => {

:sudo => {

:users => ["ubuntu"],

:passwordless => true

}

}

)

the solo.json looks like this

{ "run_list": [ "role[base]"] }

So what gives?
