I am trying to use "elasticsearch/cookbook-elasticsearch" cookbook for with my wrapper cookbook. I want to override following default attributes from cookbook-elasticsearch in my wrapper cookbook.
default.elasticsearch[:rpm_url] = "https://download.elasticsearch.org/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-0.90.12.noarch.rpm"
default.elasticsearch[:rpm_sha] = "ab7ea2e00d8f1b73642e3ea44d9647b11e6b0b96"
Cookbook : https://github.com/elasticsearch/cookbook-elasticsearch
How do I do this in my-elasticsearch cookbook ?
cat site-cookbooks/my-elasticsearch/attributes/default.rb
override.elasticsearch[:rpm_url] = "https://download.elasticsearch.org/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-1.4.4.noarch.rpm"
override.elasticsearch[:rpm_sha] = "ec8b41c54a6d897479645b2507476e0824bc71db"
is this correct one ?
I want to use this cookbook for chef 10
any help
To add information to @mark-oconnor comment:
Documentation about attributes in chef 10.
Recommended notation would be override['elasticsearch']['rpm_url'] = "new_value" the method and symbol way to access attributes have been problematic in the past.
As the cookbook loading order in chef 10 is not always clearly predictable you have to use override level to ensure the correct value is used when compîling recipes.
Edit after comments:
In the elasticsearch cookbook in version 0.3.13 the default recipe install from tarball.
If you wish to use a packaged install you have to call the corresponding recipe before the default, as in the default recipe there's a guard to not install tarball if elasticsearch is already installed.
The correct recipe in wrapper cookbook for this particular case is:
include_recipe 'elasticsearch::rpm' # Take the overriden attributes and install package
include_recipe 'elasticsearch' # no need to ::default, if omitted it's the recipe loaded
