Question: Error when using GD to upload with Berkshelf about grocery-delivery

[jaymzh]

It's a bit hard for us to debug this since we don't use berkshelf - someone else added the berks code. That said - you seemed to cut the error message off before the actual output... what's the output it got from the berks command?

Hi @jaymzh, thanks for taking a look even though you don't use berks or wrote the code.

The full berks output is as follows -- nothing else that seems too enlightening to me.

OK, so it looks like berks itself doesn't work inside your bundle. I don't know how you created your bundle, but GD is just running berks which depends on addressable which isn't there.

bundle install addressable may fix you up, but the tl;dr is bundle exec berks needs to work for this to work.

@jaymzh, thanks for the tips. I think you pointed me on the right track and that there were missing dependencies in my gemset.

I eventually was able to get bundle exec berks to run successfully by adding gem 'berkshelf', '~> 4.2.0' into the GD Gemfile. It seemed that this was the easiest way to ensure that all deps were met. This was in a clean rvm environment with a fresh gemset.

But I still ran into further berks dependency issues. I think the berks gem in my "grocery_delivery" gemset is conflicting with the chefdk berks version I have installed.

---- End output

And ChefDK info:

> chef --version

At this point in time I am going to close this issue/question as I think the root cause are all related to dependencies within my environment. I having a feeling that there may be a GD gem dependency that is missing form the Gemfile, but until I get this working I won't know for sure.

I'll update this issue if I get it working.

@wjimenez5271 Looks like you may have the been the original contributor of the GD berkshelf code. If you have any tips on what may be going wrong with my berkshelf dependencies, I would definitely appreciate it!

[wjimenez5271]

@brianwallace the berkshelf stuff doesn't do much other than call the berkshelf resolver to do its thing. It is calling the berkshelf CLI binary, so GD doesn't need to be aware of any berkshelf ruby libraries or gems, only the path the the bin.

I would double check that your pointing to the right berkshelf binary (if you are using ChefDK that will likely be somewhere in /opt/chefdk) in the Grocery Delivery config:
