[chef] Re: Error running Java Recipe: undefined method `split' for nil:NilClass

[Christopher Hahn < >]

Thank you very much for taking the time…

Yeah…I resisted adding to my post that I am restricted in what I can edit…my berkshelf is

loaded very run and my edits are over-written when I run again.

The line that is crashing is here:

def parse_app_dir_name url

  file_name = url.split('/')[-1]  <-----

I am going to get access to the repo in which we are storing this provider code

so that I can add some prints to the failing call.

I was just hoping that someone might have recognized the situation….I expect that it might stem from

a version mismatch.

I will post more info as I get at it.

Hello all,

I am running a java recipe that is checked out from a Repository that
I do not have write access to, and so I am using my cookbooks attributes  
file to change how the software is installed.

We are using Chef 10.14.4 with Vagrant 1.4.3 (versions fixed and out of my control)

I was asked to change the recipe to install Java version 8.

snip...

NoMethodError
-------------
undefined method `split' for nil:NilClass

Cookbook Trace:
---------------
/tmp/vagrant-chef-1/chef-solo-2/cookbooks/java/providers/ark.rb:25:in `parse_app_dir_name'

You’ll want to see what this code is doing to help figure out what’s going on.

I would be arguing that we need to try upgrading, but this deployment works on some system  
but not on others....I am thinking that I have some gem version mismatch but am not clear on
how I might determine this....  

All apologies if this is documented....I looked.

Thank you,

Christopher
