[chef] Re: Re: Re: Re: Environment - No resource or method named `template'

Thanks Daniel. That at least helped me to work out the data from the environment is missing. I hope that bug gets fixed soon, because having an entire resource epically fail because one of it's variables isn't defined isn't going to be much fun to debug.

Probably there’s a NoMethodError in your attribute usage. If we suppose that

node[''bc-xxx-osg”][“mysql”] == nil

then

node['bc-xxx-osg']['mysql']['host’]

is the same as:

nil[“host”]

which will raise a NoMethodError because nil does not have a `[]` (element reference) method.

Note that I actually don’t have any idea which line is causing the error, I’m just using this as an example to illustrate.

There are ways you can expose the real error, by wrapping the code in begin; rescue; end;, like

begin
  # attributes code
rescue NoMethodError => e
  Chef::Log.error(e)
  raise
end

but you will probably find it easier to temporarily downgrade.

Another option is to use chef-sugar and then you can use the node.deep_fetch! method. See here: https://github.com/sethvargo/chef-sugar#node
