[chef] Re: RE: include_recipe 'git' on windows

[Andrei Radulescu < >]

Hi Adam,

Thanks a lot for your answer! On 4.1.0 works! But on 4.2.1 it doesn't.

I use chef-client 11.18.6-1. This runs on my production azure vm with Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter.

On my dev machine I have chef-client 11.18.6-1 (same as above) and runs on Windows 7.

I use all the latest versions for all the cookbooks - git cookbok 4.2.1.

Same error: "Error executing action `install` on resource 'git_client[default]'"

Cheers,

ᐧ

Hello Andrei. It would help if you could say more about what version of chef-client you’re running, the version of Windows on which it is running, the version of the git cookbook you’re using, and maybe share the output of the run to start.

 

I notice that the git cookbook (https://supermarket.chef.io/cookbooks/git) has recently been updated on Supermarket:

 

1.       On 2015-04-16, it was updated from 4.1.0 to 4.2.0. This was the first update in about 4 months.

2.       The next day, 2015-04-17, it was updated from 4.2.0 to 4.2.1. The change log shows that there may have been an issue if you’re running chef-client 11: https://github.com/jssjr/git/commit/dad51c0f2f0aa40268a1b20cd2042ae64534cedb.

 

I would guess that if you have version 4.2.0 of the cookbook, you might have better luck with 4.2.1. Otherwise, you could try downgrading to 4.1.0. I’ve been using 4.1.0 for months with no problems on a variety of Windows versions.

 

Thanks.

Hello,

 

include_recipe 'git' on windows returns "Error executing action `install` on resource 'git_client[default]'"

 

Why is that?

 

Thanks,

Andrei
