Thanks, Jamie.

Reinstalling the vagrant-berkshelf plugin resolved my issue.

Hey Aleksandr,

Looks like you've run into a potential bug with the 2.0.6 release of Berkshelf. We had similar reports that I know we've definitely fixed in the master branch and the most current beta release of Berkshelf. We also released 2.0.8 which may contain the fix to your issue as well.

I would start by re-installing the vagrant-berkshelf plugin to ensure that it picks up the very latest version of Berkshelf. You can do that with `$ vagrant plugin uninstall vagrant-berkshelf` && `$ vagrant plugin install vagrant-berkshelf`.

If you are still experiencing issues open a ticket on the Berkshelf issue tracker https://github.com/RiotGames/berkshelf/issues/new and we'll help you get it sorted.

note: it's possible to use the beta version of Berkshelf with Vagrant Berkshelf, but it requires you to jump through a few hoops.

Did you try removing the depends line from the metadata.rb?  That shouldn't be required, especially if you're explicitly declaring it in the Berksfile so that it can be downloaded from your local Chef server.

Subject: [chef] Managing dependencies via Berkshelf

Hi, 

I have a question about Berkshelf and dependency management (sorry, maybe it's silly).

I've written cookbook my_nginx which depends on cookbook nginx that is located on our production chef-server. I want to use Vagrant + Berkshelf for testing it.

So i wrote in metadata.rb

depends "nginx"

and in Berksfile 

metadata
cookbook 'nginx', chef_api: :config

When i execute berks install, i get cookbook from our Chef server in ~/.berkshelf/cookbooks/nginx-1.7.0. However, when i use vagrant up it downloads dependency from https://cookbooks.opscode.com/api/v1/ to ~/.berkshelf/default/vagrant/berkshelf-20130812-xxxxx and there are absent some recipes i need.

What I need to do for downloading dependencies from my Chef server when i use vagrant?

Additional info:

Vagrant version 1.2.7

Berkshelf (2.0.6)

vagrant-berkshelf (1.3.2)

$ vagrant plugin list

vagrant-berkshelf (1.3.3)

vagrant-omnibus (1.1.0)

My ~/.berkshelf/config.json

{
  "chef":{
    "chef_server_url":"http://api.chef.organization.com",
    "validation_client_name":"chef-validator",
    "validation_key_path":"/home/user/.chef/validation.pem",
    "client_key":"/home/lexx/.chef/user.pem",
    "node_name":"user"
  },
  "vagrant":{
    "vm":{
      "box":"Centos_chef11",
      "box_url":"http://vagrant.server/vagrant_berkshelf.box",
      "forward_port":{
      },
      "network":{
        "bridged":false,
        "hostonly":"33.33.33.10"
      },
      "provision":"chef_solo"
    }
  },
"ssl":{
    "verify":true
  }
}

Thanks!

Please excuse my bad English.
