Basically I want to create a cookbook that installs MySQL 5.6 so I though I would utilize mysql from the supermarket.
I started off by creating a fresh cookbook using chef generate cookbook MYSQL Then added depends 'mysql', '~> 8.0' and run a berks install which runs successfully and installs the mysql cookbook.
Here is my default.rb
mysql_service 'default' do
version '5.7'
bind_address '0.0.0.0'
port '3306'
data_dir '/data'
initial_root_password 'vagrant'
action [:create, :start]
end
I run this command to run the cookbook - sudo chef-client --local recipes/default.rb which gives me the following output

Running a single recipe like that doesn't process dependencies at all. It's generally not recommended for anything other than the very first Chef tutorial. You want something like chef-solo -r 'recipe[mycookbook::default].
