[chef] Re: Chef server refusing to provide some files

["Nguyen, Dang" < >]

The error means that the Chef::Resource::File resource that you're using doesn't have a method called "source".

 Are you using the "file" resource instead of the cookbook_file resource?

We're having a problem with our Chef (10.12) server where it's

refusing to provide some files to clients. For example, I have a

"collectd" cookbook with a files/default/redis_info.py, but when I try

to run the recipe that requires it, the Chef server refuses to give me

the file. I keep getting

[2012-10-09T14:03:00-04:00] FATAL: NoMethodError: undefined method

`source' for Chef::Resource::File

and inspecting the cookbook cache on the client, I see no "files"

directory under the relevant cookbook.

Downloading the cookbook by hand using "knife cookbook download" from

the Chef server works fine. What could be wrong?
