Subject: [chef] Templates - Location Specificity - Not working

 

Hey All,

 

I've just had the need to choose a template based on node[:fqdn]

 

According to http://docs.opscode.com/essentials_cookbook_templates_location_specificity.html  it should work.

 

However during the chef-client run it does not seem to look for host-<fsdn> directories.

 

OS is oracle linux 5.x

Chef-client is version 10.26.0

 

Here is a sample of the error

 

Chef::Exceptions::FileNotFound

------------------------------

 

Cookbook 'mycookbook' (0.1.0) does not contain a file at any of these locations:

  templates/oracle-5.5/hosts.erb

  templates/oracle/hosts.erb

  templates/default/hosts.erb

 

It should be looking for:

templates/host-myhost.domain.com/hosts.erb

 

Anyone have any thoughts
