[chef] Jenkins Community Cookbook throws Java error

[niristotle okram < >]

hi, 

Can someone help shed some lights on what is this java error for the custom resource in the community jenkins cookbook?

    ================================================================================

    Error executing action `create` on resource 'jenkins_private_key_credentials[xyz]'

    ================================================================================

    

    Mixlib::ShellOut::ShellCommandFailed

    ------------------------------------

    Expected process to exit with [0], but received '255'

So, this is the part of my recipe (where its failing) which uses the chef-community Jenkins cookbook. 

ruby_block 'set private key' do
  block { node.run_state[:jenkins_private_key] = data_bag["jenkins_private_key"] }
end

if node[:jenkins][:master_config][:credentials]
  node[:jenkins][:master_config][:credentials].each do |name, credential|
    jenkins_private_key_credentials credential["name"] do
      description credential["description"]
      private_key data_bag["#{credential["databag_key_name"]}"]
      if credential["id"]
        id credential["id"]
      end
    end
  end
end
