[chef] Re: Berks Debugging Tools

[Ranjib Dey < >]

currently not many options. when we migrated from berks 2 -> berks 3 i was using mostly log level and similar approach as yours. There are certain known problems that constitutes bulk of the dep solve issues, like circular deps, i had a conversation with jamie , and we were thinking of introducing detectors for the common ones (like circular dep) , but i never got time to work on it.

Are there some tools in debugging Berks dependency with Berksfile?

I spent some time debugging the chef-openstack repo and it seemed like there should be a better way to debug it. My strategy was to take the Berksfile to a smaller and smaller subset until there error message went to something obvious enough to deal with. What are people using to debug Berksfiles?

The case I had was complex in having multiple problems, but the log below gives you an idea of how you get from an error message that tells, graph does not have a solution to something that is actionable, it is the tree pruned so that you can see what is going on...
