ERROR: undefined method `python' for #<Chef::Node::Attribute:0x00000003f78ef8>


I am newbie to chef. I try install python by chef into Amazon EC2. I made a node in chef-repo/nodes folder something as mynode.com.json I have a run_list in mynode.com.json:

"run_list": [
    "recipe[python]"
  ],

Then I call:

"knife solo cook mynode.com"

I got this error:

/home/ec2-user/chef-solo/local-mode-cache/cache/cookbooks/python/attributes/default.rb:

 28:      default['python']['prefix_dir']         = '/usr'
 29:    end
 30:  else
 31:    default['python']['prefix_dir']         = '/usr/local'

Is there anyone can help? Thanks


Solution

  • That cookbook (python) is deprecated and does not work with Chef 13. Use poise-python instead.
