I understand your pain. Having been there, the way I solved it was to name each of the dependencies on the Berksfile as you have already figured out, and I agree it’s a pain.

Maybe open a feature request for the plugin [1] ?

Hi Cassiano,

I just tried that and got:

Berkshelf::BerksfileReadError: An error occurred while reading the Berksfile:

undefined method `path' for #<#<Class:0x0000010538bd40>:0x0000010538b9f8>

I'm trying to set up the cookbook library wrapper pattern following:

and

http://support.rightscale.com/12-Guides/Chef_Cookbooks_Developer_Guide/04-Developer/06-Development_Resources/Chef_Cookbook_Design_Patterns/Wrapper_Cookbook_Pattern

So I need chef solo to find my 'local cookbooks'.

I’m not sure if this will work, but have you tried to stick ‘path “/path/to/cookbooks”’ at the top of the Berksfile?

The idea behind Berkshelf is that you shouldn't use your local cookbooks. You should pull them from git, a chef api, opscode, etc. Setup Berkshelf to pull from the default location where they are and berks install.

I think that the plugin overrides the cookbook_path variable so "no"
is the answer. From http://berkshelf.com/

"Chef Solo provisioner

The Chef Solo provisioner’s cookbook_path attribute is hijacked when
using the Vagrant Berkshelf plugin. Cookbooks resolved from your
Berksfile will automatically be made available to your Vagrant virtual
machine. There is no need to explicitly set a value for cookbook_path
attribute."
