[chef] run_context.include_recipe in a recipe within a role

[Dorian Jaminais < >]

Hi everyone

I am having trouble with LWRP, include_recipe and roles.

I have a LWRP that includes some cookbooks :
    run_context.include_recipe "git"
    run_context.include_recipe "internal-cookbook"
    run_context.include_recipe "build-essential"

The git cookbook is the one available at opscode.

I use this recipe in a variety of other internal cookbooks.

Here is my problem : when I add the cookbooks that use the LWRP directly to a node's run_list, it works perfectly but when I add them via a role, git is not installed. It works for the two other recipes included in the LWRP but not for git.

In the logs I have :
    DEBUG: Loading Recipe git via include_recipe
    DEBUG: Found recipe default in cookbook git

and then it goes to the next cookbook without the expected
    INFO: Processing package[git] action install (base::default line 9)

I am running chef 11.4.4 on ubuntu 12.04 LTS

Do you guys have any ideas what is happening and how to solve this ?
