Because you're including the oracle recipe directly, not using the default recipe. There are required attributes set in the set_attributes_from_version recipe, which is included by the default recipe. You can include this yourself before including java::oracle, but the recommended method is just to include default (which is why you're getting that warning when the recipe executes).I'm the maintainer of the java cookbook, and we pulled out some logic from the default recipe into set_attributes_from_version so that the cookbook could more easily be wrapped. For most uses, simply including the default recipe and setting the install_flavor node attribute (if you wish to override the default) is sufficient. Perhaps we can make this clearer (such as raising an exception when expected attributes aren't set).Anyhow, in this case, changing your include_recipe to include default instead of oracle and then in your node attributes (nodes/hostname.json in your case), just set install_flavor = 'oracle'.On Thu, Mar 13, 2014 at 7:20 PM, phil swenson < " target="_blank"> > wrote:
right but this setting has a default in the java recipe, so why doesn’t that get picked up?On Thu, Mar 13, 2014 at 5:45 PM, Jasna Benčić < " target="_blank"> > wrote:
your default recipe could look different - package has to be installed so something is missing in that code, then you only gave right to some directory, without creating it firsttroubleshoot tipalways look for Chef's pointer like on line 38 because Chef usually points out to you where is the problem, also check line 11 in your default.rb38>> tarball_url = node['java']['jdk']['7'][arch]['url']

Change include_recipe "java::oracle" to be include_recipe "java::default"
Then, set on the node: node['java']['install_flavor'] = 'oracle'On Thu, Mar 13, 2014 at 4:15 PM, phil swenson < " target="_blank"> > wrote:
I'm a Chef newbie and am struggling with writing a recipe to install Java (and eventually install Jenkins nodes and configure jobs).

See output above.Here are my questions:
1) I'm guessing that I shouldn't have to put these recipe settings in my nodes/hostname.json file. I tried putting them in the recipe (they will need to apply to all nodes), but couldn't get that to work.
2) I'm sure my java config is wrong, but I'm not sure how. the error is undefined method of nil on
node['java']['jdk']['7'][arch]['url']The default.rb attributes for the java recipe has this in it, so I don't know why I would get the nil:
default['java']['jdk']['7']['x86_64']['url'] = 'http://download.oracle.com/otn-pub/java/jdk/7u51-b13/jdk-7u51-linux-x64.tar.gz'thanks for any thoughts!
