I am facing a weird issue. My following chef recipe fails when the chef is executed from user-data (cloud-init).
It asks for HOME/COMPOSER_HOME env variable.
However it runs fine if I do a manual chef-client run from the SSH terminal (or even run the commands directly on terminal).
PS: composer.phar and composer.json are provided by Developers (Bundled in wordpress zip)

Add environment HOME: '/root' to your script resource (or similar). This is needed because Chef does not set this variable for you. When you log in via SSH it gets set by your login shell, which then inherits to the chef-client process.
