[chef] group resource not creating the group

["Van Fossan,Randy" < >]

Does anyone know why the group resource would not create the group.   The error keeps coming back saying groupmod cannot find the group.    I would have thought that it would have used groupadd.

 

Here is the snippet from the recipe..

group "abc123" do

  gid 405

  action :create

end

error -> line 55) had an error: Chef::Exceptions::Exec: groupmod userroot returned 10, expected 0  

 

Error 10 says group does not exist, well I am trying to create it.   What am I doing wrong.??
