I'm using chef-solo and maintaining community cookbooks using berkshelf. Installed iptables cookbook using berkshelf recently and it threw the following error once I ran chef-solo.
RuntimeError
------------
File templates/default/rebuild-iptables.erb does not exist for cookbook iptables
Resource Declaration:
---------------------
# In /home/directfn/.berkshelf/cookbooks/iptables-2.0.1/recipes/default.rb
35: template '/usr/sbin/rebuild-iptables' do
36: source 'rebuild-iptables.erb'
37: mode '0755'
38: variables(
39: hashbang: ::File.exist?('/usr/bin/ruby') ? '/usr/bin/ruby' : '/opt/chef/embedded/bin/ruby'
40: )
41: end
42:
But I can see the template source is there.
[root@euca-172-16-10-197 chef-repo]# ls /home/directfn/.berkshelf/cookbooks/iptables-2.0.1/templates/default/rebuild-iptables.erb
/home/directfn/.berkshelf/cookbooks/iptables-2.0.1/templates/default/rebuild-iptables.erb
But if I copy the iptables cookbook to where I have rest of my cookbooks are, it works like a charm. And I'm using more than 30 other community cookbooks using berkshelf without any problem.
Does anyone have an idea what is going on here?
Thanks in advance

chef-solo cannot use the cookbooks under .berkshelf/ directly. You should use berks vendor to reformat them into a structure that Chef can deal with better.
