[chef] Re: Non-convergence of cookbook on node

[ANGELA EBIRIM < >]

Hi Daniel,

Thanks for responding.

Yes the default recipe does include teo other recipes from the same cookbook.

I do know that the recipes work because when I do a Chef run with this cookbook on a Vagrant VM, the cookbook executes successfully. I'm attempting to deploy this cookbook to a node in my dev environment.

I've checked in the /etc/chef directory and can see the two pem files(i.e validation.pem and client.pem). Is there anywhere else you suggest I might start from to troubleshoot this?

Hello,

I would really appreciate some assistance with this...

I'm trying to get a particular cookbook to run on a Ubuntu node. The node is brand new and the first thing I did just after spinning up an instance in AWS, did a chef-client on the command line (which should identify this node to the Chef server) and then did a chef run -r "recipe[cookbook_name::default]".

I received the following:-

Starting Chef Client, version 11.14.6

resolving cookbooks for run list: ["cookbook_name::default"]

Synchronizing Cookbooks:

- chef_handler

- windows

- logrotate

- cron

- chef-client

- cookbook_name

Compiling Cookbooks...

Converging 0 resources

Running handlers:

Running handlers complete

Chef Client finished, 0/0 resources updated in 3.269889693 seconds

Can you please tell me why the default recipe isn't being run?

Only the `cookbook_name::default` recipe will be run, unless it uses an `include_recipe` statement to pull in other recipes. Setting dependencies at the cookbook level will make chef pull them in for the chef-client run (as you can see in your logs), but the run list (and include statement) controls which recipes actually get run.

Many thanks
