knife and berkshelf difference?

Asked 2020-Oct-09 at 04:46

knife and berkshelf are both used for uploading the cookbook. the berkshelf is taking care of "third party dependencies" as well feom berkfile or Metadata.rb. Is that the only difference or there is more to it?

In a loose sense, Berkshelf is a kind of "package manager" for Chef cookbooks.

It is somewhat like what yum is to rpm, or what apt-get is to dpkg.

As you pointed out, Berkshelf provides dependency management for a given Chef cookbook. It can not only pull external dependencies, but dependent cookbooks (and versions) from a given code (Git/Bitbucket) repository. And with larger Chef deployments, there is always the complication of managing multiple dependencies.

Sometimes the dependencies are immediately obvious. Just to illustrate this, if I have a cookbook my_rabbitmq_server, with metadata.rb as:

This is not supported, or anything even in the same area code as supported. We have no public Ruby APIs for this data, sorry. You can look at the Solve gem, but it's not really used outside of our own use cases.

QUESTION

Testing resource cookbook with Policyfiles & ChefSpec

Asked 2019-Sep-06 at 16:09

This problem arises when you:

Write a library cookbook (i.e. it has no recipes apart from a no-op default.rb)
Create a test cookbook under test/fixtures/cookbooks/ to exercise the library. That is test/fixtures/cookbooks/test/recipes/system.rb
Write a ChefSpec spec that describe 'test::system'
Use Policyfiles rather than Berkshelf.

When using Berkshelf you would use group :integration do ... end to include the test cookbook only when running tests.

How do you write a Policyfile that only references the test cookbook when running tests?

Right now I have my policyfile always packaging the test cookbook. Not ideal but acceptable to get something that just works in a test environment. Not sustainable over the longer term.

Appreciate any hints, tips or incantations.

ANSWER

Answered 2019-Sep-06 at 16:09

Create two Policyfiles.

One of them contains the recipes/attributes that you would run on a "real" node. The other contains what is needed to exercise the cookbook in test kitchen.

You can specify a Policyfile path in kitchen.rb.

One simple simple solution is to restart Artifactory service on the machine.

Try this solution: To change the source file for the gem and bump the values. Save it, retry berks install to see. Restart Chef if required.

For ex:: Change values in the following file, line containing options and values i.e. retry to 3, retry_interval to 1 or 2, open_timeout to 60 and timeout to 60.

VirtualBox 6.0.8, Vagrant 2.2.4 Hangs on SSH auth method: private key

I am new to Vagrant. I am trying to get a suitable developement envirement in order to create a symfony project but for some reason, I can't seem to get this working. What ever machine i build i always get stuck at the "SSH auth method: private key" line.

I made a lot of reading in the past 2 days and this problem seems to happend for various reasons. I tryed everything on satck overflow but just can't seem to pin point what is causing my setup to fail.

I am on my laptop that has windows 10. I have VirtualBox 6.0.8 and Vagrant 2.2.4.

I tryed 4 diffrent boxes including one I builded using Chef and a more generic box that suposidly would work (hashicorp/precise64)

So I am confident the problem is somewhere else that in the vagrantfile.

After almost 4 days at this, i finally got it working ... My hard drive drop dead so I had to replace it and reinstall windows and all my stuff. First thing I did was try vagrant and virtualbox again. It worked on the first try. I suspect that there was something wrong with VirtualBox and the network (meaning my physical interfaces). Unfortunately, that's all I can say about it since I never got to the bottom of this problem. If like me, you tried everything and you still have the same problem I had, you should take a look at your network. I am not gona tell you to reinstall windows ... that would be insane ... But something somewhere was broken and now everything works as expected. Weird but true!

There is no reason to use berks cookbook anymore and I'm pretty sure it was removed years ago. It sounds like your first problem is that your gem environment is very broken. We only support Berkshelf via the ChefDK installers, not gem install berkshelf. You appear to have the chef-client installer, not ChefDK, so fix that first. Then if you just want a standard Berksfile it's:
