[chef] Re: Re: What does this berkshelf error mean?

[John Alberts < >]

Thanks Seth.  I just found the error and was getting ready to reply to my original email.  Turns out the problem was a misplaced comma in my metadata.rb that required chef-sugar.

I accidentally did this:

%w{chef-sugar, sensu}.each

oops.  :/

It's always the tiny typos like that, that are the hardest to find. :)

Hi John,

Please note: Berkshelf 2 is no longer actively supported. I would recommend upgrading to Berkshelf 3 as soon as possible.

I would help if you including the commands you are running, your Berksfile, etc.

If you are depending on chef-sugar in a metadata location (or it's a transitive dependency), you need to put the git location FIRST in the berksfile. Otherwise, it will try to use the chef-sugar from the community source, not your scm location.
