Issue with

[kPhilosopher]

When I use a role to define a run_list specific for an environment and pin the cookbook version, I get the following error when I execute chef-client

DEBUG: Sending HTTP Request via POST to 10.10.10.2:4000/environments/environment01/cookbook_versions
INFO: HTTP Request Returned 412 Precondition Failed: No such cookbook: cookbookName::recipeName

This seems to happen if we have a role specifying the version of the cookbook for an environment. For example:

** RECIPE COMMANDS **
{
  "name": "roleName",
  "json_class": "Chef::Role",
  "env_run_lists": {
    "environment01": [
      "recipe[cookbookName::recipeName@0.1.1]"
    ],
    "environment02": [
       "recipe[cookbookName::recipeName@0.1.0]"
  ],
  },
  "run_list": [ ],
  "description": "role applied to nodes",
  "chef_type": "role",
  "override_attributes": {
  }
}

This issue went away when we would change

"recipe[cookbookName::recipeName@0.1.1]"

to

"recipe[cookbookName::recipeName]"

Please let me know if you need more information.

Hmm. I think this might happen even if you specify it in the run_list itself, too.

I have a fix in master (commit 8d76496). Can you sync, rake install, and try out that version?

[sethvargo]

@jkeiser master works for me 😄

[jkeiser]

@sethvargo just so I understand, did it fail before?

[sethvargo]

@jkeiser that I don't know. I can confirm it's working on master, but I never tried before (I try not to do version locking that way, so I never encountered it)

[kPhilosopher]

It works with the master (commit 8d76496). Do you have an estimate for the next version release?

[jkeiser]

Soon. I want to get some chef-pedant tests written for the case, but if you have a need for a new version Right Now I can release and add the chef-pedant tests after.

[kPhilosopher]

It would be appreciated if you can release a patch, but I don't want to pressure you to deviate from better practices.

[jkeiser]

I went ahead and released 1.5.4. I still need to get tests in for this, but don't want to block anyone in the meantime.

Thanks John.
