[chef] AWS Cookbook problem

[< >]

Hi everyone,

I'm attempting to run providers from the aws cookbook in Ubuntu 12.04 on an 
AWS
box. I'm hitting a wall where it seems like the access key and secret access
key are not properly passed down to the Right AWS underlying library, even if 
I
hardcode them in my calling recipe. Here's an example of the call, with the
keys replaced for my protection:


include_recipe "aws"

aws_ebs_volume "test-drive" do
  aws_access_key = "MYACCESSKEY" #aws_bag['aws_access_key']
  aws_secret_access_key = "mySecretAccessKey" #aws_bag['aws_secret_key']
  size 25
  availability_zone "us-east-1"
  device "/dev/xvdb"
  action [:create, :attach]
end

Running this in a recipe yields:

[Fri, 18 May 2012 18:35:24 +0000] FATAL: RightAws::AwsError:
aws_ebs_volume[test-drive] (appinions::ebs-raid-10 line 22) had an error:
RightAws::AwsError: AWS access keys are required to operate on EC2

And this stacktrace:

Is it possible that the underlying right_aws gem has changed somehow, or am I
just doing it wrong?

Thanks,
