[chef] Re: Re: updated chef-client cookbook failing on value_for_platform_family

Huh... the checkin for value_for_platform_family appears to be dated 12/16/2011, whereas 0.10.8 was released on 12/15/2011 according to github. oh well, would've been nice if the readme was up to date.

thanks for the help, i guess i'll get omnibus_updater running first before updating the chef-client cookbook

That version of the chef-client cookbook requires Chef 0.10.8 or higher and Ohai 0.6.14.  Those versions added a platform_family value, which made it easier to add support for similar platform (rhel is red hat, centos,scientific,amazon,oracle).  Most cookbooks are using this value now.

Subject: [chef] updated chef-client cookbook failing on value_for_platform_family

We are running chef 0.10.6 on the majority of our infrastructure.

in the chef-client cookbook readme it states:

Chef 0.9.12 or higher is required.
Chef 0.10.10 or higher is required for init_style "launchd".

we are getting this error:
FATAL: NoMethodError: undefined method `value_for_platform_family' for #<Chef::Recipe:0x7f8eb3ada400>

Was this added in a more recent version of chef? If so, why is it not mentioned in the readme?

I guess I'm approaching force-update time...
