[chef] Re: Re: Chef Metal Destroying Instances - undefined local variable or method `iam_endpoint'

[Daniel Condomitti < >]

It looks like a bug in the code, have you looked at that provider? It references iam_endpoint[0] but only default_iam_endpoint is defined in that method. If I’m reading it right, you can make it use the right endpoint by setting AWS_IAM_URL.

You should open an issue[1], ideally attempt fixing it yourself. The code is open source, you’re welcome to contribute something back.

I'm trying to destroy (delete? some docs say it's 'destroy' while other say 'delete') EC2 instances started with chef-metal.

Here's the destroy recipe, pretty simple:

require 'chef_metal'
with_chef_server "https://chef01.prod.slicetest.com:443", {
  :client_name => Chef::Config[:node_name],
  :signing_key_filename => Chef::Config[:client_key]
}
machine "mongo-cfg01.dev-volatile.slicetest.com" do
    action :destroy
end

and here's what I get when I run it:

================================================================================
Error executing action `destroy` on resource 'machine[mongo-cfg01.dev-volatile.slicetest.com]'
================================================================================

NameError
---------
undefined local variable or method `iam_endpoint' for ChefMetalFog::Providers::AWS:Class

Resource Declaration:
---------------------
# In /Users/doug/git/chef/chef-metal/mongo-dev-volatile-down.rb

  9:     machine "mongo-cfg01.dev-volatile.slicetest.com" do
 10:         action :destroy
 11:     end
 12: #end

Can't get much simpler than that. What am I doing wrong?
