[chef] Problems using the MySQL recipe

[Roberto Aloi < >]

Hi all,

Using the MySQL recipe from Opscode with Vagrant 0.9.2 I get the
following error:

...
NameError: wrong constant name DebianBeforeSqueeze?
/opt/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/chef-0.10.2/bin/../lib/chef/mixin/recipe_definition_dsl_core.rb:56:in
`const_defined?'
/opt/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/chef-0.10.2/bin/../lib/chef/mixin/recipe_definition_dsl_core.rb:56:in
`method_missing'
/tmp/vagrant-chef-1/chef-solo-1/cookbooks/mysql/recipes/client.rb:26:in
`from_file'
...

The problematic bit seems to be:

 if debian_before_squeeze? || ubuntu_before_lucid?
   %w{mysql-client libmysqlclient15-dev}
 else
   %w{mysql-client libmysqlclient-dev}
 end

In an helper file the following definition is present:

     def debian_before_squeeze?
       platform?("debian") && (node.platform_version.to_f < 6.0)
     end

Given I'm using a Lucid 64 as an image, I simply changed the if block into:

   %w{mysql-client libmysqlclient-dev}

Which made 'vagrant up' succeed. Still, it would be nice to understand
the reason of the error. Am I the only one facing this problem?

Cheers,

Roberto
