I am trying to run chef-solo, and I have the following configuration
/var/chef
├── cookbooks
│ ├── cc_db
│ │ ├── Berksfile
│ │ ├── Berksfile.lock
│ │ ├── chefignore
│ │ ├── metadata.rb
│ │ ├── recipes
│ │ │ └── default.rb
├── node.json
└── solo.rb
node.json
{
"run_list": [ "recipe[cc_db]" ]
}
solo.rb
file_cache_path "/var/chef"
cookbook_path "/var/chef/cookbooks"
json_attribs "/var/chef/node.json"
metadata.rb
depends 'database', '~> 5.1.2'
depends 'mysql2_chef_gem', '~> 1.0'
I've gotten this to work in a kitchen-test environment, but I'm trying it now on a different server using chef-solo.
Whenever I run: chef-solo -c solo.rb
I get:
resolving cookbooks for run list: ["cc_db"]

I'm confused because the database cookbook seem to be installed with berks, but chef isn't picking it up.
any help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks. myles.
Chef doesn't directly integrate with Berkshelf, so chef-solo knows nothing about that. Normally you would use something like knife-solo which ties them together, but you could also do it manually. Run berks vendor /path/to/a/folder and then set that folder as the cookbook_path.
