Test Lab Bootstraps Hang - Waiting on validation.pem and webui.pem to appear #108

Closed bgkittrell closed 11 years ago

bgkittrell commented 11 years ago

I just started setting up my environment, but when I run cucumber-chef setup it times out on the boostrap process. Looking at the log I see "Waiting on validation.pem and webui.pem to appear".

What are those files, and where should they be?

zpatten commented 11 years ago

The message indicates that the test lab is waiting on the chef server to generate it's validation.pem and webui.pem keys.

Tail your cucumber-chef log file located in <chef-repo>/.cucumber-chef/cucumber-chef.log during setup. The issue should be apparent in the log.

On rare occasion, I've seen a test lab hang in this spot before, something way down in the chef seems to fail as far as I could tell.

I wouldn't stress this too much; you can easily destroy and re-create the test lab. If the issue is persistent then we have a problem.

Ok; so there is something going seriously wrong. I haven't been able to nail down root cause 100%; but the chef-server installation via the Opscode apt-repo is no longer working.

I was planning on removing this at some point and replacing it with a bootstrap process that will work for Chef versions 0.10.x & 0.11.x. (Since Opscode didn't release 0.11.x via an apt-repo, I got the impression they would be dropping it anyways).

I'll get the bootstrap fixed this weekend and a new version pushed out. If I can pull it off I will be releasing a non-rc 3.0 version before the weekend is over.

Making progress

I've got everything switched over to chef-solo for the bootstrap now; working out a kink in rc.2, a somewhat known issue with chef; at least I have hit it before. I'll update once I have this resolved.

This should be resolved in the latest RC versions (i.e. 3.0.0.rc.5 and up); feel free to reopen this if the issue is not resolved for you.
