did you try running "berks install" before the vagrant up ?

Can you post your metadata.rb and your Berksfile?

Chef solo cannot find my local cookbooks. I must be doing something stupid. Any help appreciated :-)

I have berkshelf setup ok with the following in my VagrantFile

config.vm.provision :chef_solo do |chef|

    chef.cookbooks_path = "cookbooks"

    chef.add_recipe "starter" 

end

$ tree cookbooks/getting-started/

cookbooks/getting-started/

├── README.rdoc

├── attributes

├── metadata.json

├── metadata.rb

│   └── default.rb

└── templates

    └── default

        └── chef-getting-started.txt.erb

If I run $ vagrant up I get:

[2013-11-25T14:55:58+00:00] INFO: *** Chef 10.14.2 ***

But if I run against a berkshelf cookbook e.g. (VagrantFile)

config.vm.provision :chef_solo do |chef|

    chef.cookbooks_path = "cookbooks"

    chef.add_recipe "apache2" 

end

my VM gets provioned ok

Thanks
