Hello,
Chef::Exceptions::MetadataNotValid: Cookbook loaded at path(s)
[/var/etl-chef/chef-repo/cookbooks/monit] has invalid metadata: The
`name' attribute is required in cookbook metadata
Check the 'monit' cookbook at /var/etl-chef/chef-repo/cookbooks/monit
metadata.rb (it's a ruby file), or whatever is putting it there.
to fix, e.g.:
echo "name 'monit'" >> /var/etl-chef/chef-repo/cookbooks/monit/metadata.rb
You need to add the name attribute.
cheers,
--aj

and it finds the cookbook without "name" in the metadata. You might

Hope this helps.
