I'm running community gerrit cookbook in docker using chef-solo.
If I run the cookbook in a Dockerfile as a build step, it throws an error (check the log). But if I run the image and go inside the container and run the same command, it works fine.
Any idea what's going on? Its complaining about sudo, yet continues and creates symbolic link. 'target_mode = nil' should not be a problem since it complains about same thing when I run the command inside the container as well but works fine. It ends up complaining about init.d script which does not make sense.
chef-solo as a build step:
RUN chef-solo --log_level debug -c /resources/solo.rb -j /resources/node.json

The actually error was sudo: sorry, you must have a tty to run sudo, linux terminal not assigned due to security reasons, more info in this link here.
By default Docker runs as root, there is no need to do sudo. The cookbook I was running created 'gerrit' user which was causing me to do sudo. I removed the user and ran everything as root. Solved!
