undefined method `poise_service_user' for cookbook: newrelic-infra

I am trying to setup newrelic infra chef cookbook for my project using chef solo. Following the guidelines listed in their docs: Configure New Relic Infrastructure using Chef

Goal:

Start the newrelic-infra service in the ubuntu box.

The steps mentioned are the following:

The New Relic cookbook is available from the public Chef Supermarket . To install and configure New Relic Infrastructure using Chef:

  1. Add the newrelic-infra dependency in your own Chef metadata.rb or Berksfile - Done

metadata.rb

depends 'newrelic-infra'
  1. Set the New Relic license key attribute. For example, add the following to your recipes/default.rb: - Done

newrelic-infra/attributes/default.rb

# New Relic infrastructure agent configuration options
default['newrelic_infra']['config'].tap do |conf|
  # Account license key
  conf['license_key'] = 'added my license key here'
  1. Include the default New Relic recipe by using include_recipe ‘newrelic-infra::default' or by adding the recipe to your run list. - Done

Dependencies for new relic infra cookbook are poise-service and poise-archive v1.5.0 : so I have added all three cookbooks to the runlist. The vagrant file looks like this:

Vagrant.configure('2') do |config|
config.vm.box = 'bento/ubuntu-18.04'
...
...
config.vm.provision 'shell', inline: <<~SHELL
wget -q -O /tmp/chefdk.deb  https://packages.chef.io/files/stable/chefdk/3.2.30/ubuntu/18.04/chefdk_3.2.30-1_amd64.deb
apt-get -q install -y /tmp/chefdk.deb
mkdir /tmp/cookbooks
  ...
rsync -av  /vagrant/infrastructure-agent-chef/ /tmp/cookbooks/newrelic-infra/
git clone https://github.com/poise/poise-service.git /tmp/cookbooks/poise-service
cd /tmp/cookbooks/poise-service && git checkout v1.5.0
git clone https://github.com/poise/poise-archive.git /tmp/cookbooks/poise-archive
cd /tmp/cookbooks/poise-archive && git checkout v1.5.0
echo '{"run_list":["recipe[newrelic-infra]", "recipe[poise-service]", "recipe[poise-archive]"]}' > /tmp/runlist.json
chef-solo -j /tmp/runlist.json --recipe-url /tmp/random.tar.gz 
SHELL
end

finally when I run newrelic-infra service using vagrant up I see the following error:

I spent hours looking into the cookbook source in GitHub but no luck yet, Anyone have idea or troubleshooting tips? I am pretty new to Chef or ruby so I would really appreciate any suggestions.

Thanks!

Solution

  • I raised an issue in GitHub and looks like the poise-service cookbook is no longer maintained and the owner archived it few hours ago.
