[chef] RE: Re: Which cookbook version wins in this case?

["Fouts, Chris" < >]

Thanks. I’m testing this now. How do I show the cookbooks’ version that converged on the node? “knife node show” of course shows the run list, but not the cookbooks’ versions?

1.0.0 should win. It satisfies all requirements, where 1.2.0 does not.

Say I have a web_role cookbook, and its metadata.rb file looks like this

 

depends ‘apache’, ‘= 1.0.0’

depends ‘webapp’, ‘= 1.0.0’

depends ‘someapp’, ‘= 1.0.0’

 

…and my webapp cookbook’s metadata.rb files look like…

 

depends ‘apache’ # Not pinned to any version

 

On the server I have "> and "> versions of the apache cookbook

 

Now if I add my web_role cookbook to my node’s run list, which version of the apache cookbook will converge, 1.0.0 defined in the web_role’s metadata.rb file, or the 1.2.0, latest version on the chef server?
