Chef solo can't find cookbook during kitchen t

问题:

I'm trying to add a Test Kitchen for a bunch of cookbooks that we use to provision a Jenkins CI instance.

We use Berkshelf to manage dependencies. The file structure is as follows:

|   .gitignore
|   .kitchen.yml
|   Berksfile
|   Berksfile.lock
|   bootstrap.sh
|   chefignore
|   metadata.rb
|   provision.sh
|   readme.md
|   solo.json
|   solo.rb
|   tree.txt

Executing:

kitchen converge default-ubuntu-1404

Results in the following error:

    [2015-08-24T09:13:24+00:00] ERROR: Cookbook mbp-jenkins not found. If you're loading mbp-jenkins from another cookbook, make sure you configure the dependency in your metadata
[2015-08-24T09:13:24+00:00] FATAL: Chef::Exceptions::ChildConvergeError: Chef run process exited unsuccessfully (exit code 1)

Which suggests that chef-solo can't find the cookbook mbp-jenkins. I would expect it to find it though as we define the cookbook paths in the solo.rb file as follows:

root = File.absolute_path(File.dirname(__FILE__))

file_cache_path 'cache'
cookbook_path [root + "/cookbooks", root + "/site-cookbooks",root + "/berks-cookbooks"]

Not really sure what is going wrong here so any suggestions would be appreciated

Update:

I have tried using the chef zero provisioner, that however gives me the output:

================================================================================
Error Resolving Cookbooks for Run List:
================================================================================

Missing Cookbooks:
------------------
No such cookbook: mbp-jenkins

Expanded Run List:
------------------
* mbp-jenkins::default

回答1:

Have you tried using the chef_zero provisioner instead? I suspect your problem is because chef solo does not run Berkshelf, which would explain the missing cookbooks.

For example see:

How to customise a tomcat recipe in Chef

Update

The issue appears to be that the cookbooks in the site-cookbooks directory is not be copied over to the target machine.

Seems to me the simplest and best fix is to include the local cookbooks in your Berksfile as follows:

source 'https://supermarket.chef.io'

cookbook 'ant',           path: 'site-cookbooks/ant'
cookbook 'haxe_cookbook', path: 'site-cookbooks/haxe_cookbook'
cookbook 'mbp-jenkins',   path: 'site-cookbooks/mbp-jenkins'
