service action enable does not work on Linux Mint 17

[rlipscombe]

When using the 'postgresql' (https://supermarket.chef.io/cookbooks/postgresql) cookbook, chef-solo (v11.16.4) fails with:

Error executing action `enable` on resource 'service[postgresql]'
File '/etc/init/postgresql.conf' does not exist

This is because chef assumes that Linux Mint uses upstart; for the postgresql-9.3 package, it's still using init.d.

So the action [:enable] attribute does the wrong thing.

A similar problem occurs with the 'rabbitmq' cookbook (https://supermarket.chef.io/cookbooks/rabbitmq), which makes me think that this needs fixing in chef, rather than in the individual cookbooks.

No, those are bugs against the individual cookbooks, they should already have an if statement around the platform_version when the platform is ubuntu and they need another one around the platform_version when the platform is linuxmint.

Cool, so how do I report a bug against the individual cookbooks? I might be being dim, but I can't find any link from (e.g.) https://supermarket.chef.io/cookbooks/rabbitmq where I might do that.

[lamont-granquist]

There should be a link to the github sources somewhere. If not google github cookbook rabbitmq and its the top hit https://github.com/jjasghar/rabbitmq
