Small fail, with a workaround

[pikesley]

Span up my first proper cc 3 test-lab. Yay!

Tried to run some tests, got this:

<lots o' cookbooks snipped>

"This looks familiar", I thought. Ah yes, I saw this when building our new Chef 11 server. Which means I know how to fix it. So as per this (from this), I made an /etc/chef-server/chef-server.rb file, thus:

server_name = "192.168.33.10"
api_fqdn server_name

nginx['url'] = "https://#{server_name}"
nginx['server_name'] = server_name
lb['fqdn'] = server_name
bookshelf['vip'] = server_name

and ran sudo chef-server-ctl reconfigure, and now it works.

Not sure if I've missed (or misunderstood) something and this is working out-the-box for other people, but whatever, I've just run my first cucumber-chef 3 test suite and I'm a VERY HAPPY SAM!

Awesome information; thank you for this! I'll work on applying this to the setup task and get a fix out by EOD.

FWIW; I don't think you missed anything; I thought I had the Chef 11.x bootstrap working solid. I had hit an issue that must of been caused by the lack of the chef-server.rb, but it appeared to have resolved itself to me; in retrospect I must of just ended up masking the problem somehow.

[pikesley]

It might be worth noting that the /etc/chef-server/chef-server.rb file does exist when the lab first comes up, but it looks like this:

# AUTO-GENERATED BY CHEF - DO NOT MODIFY

topology "standalone"

api_fqdn "cucumber-chef.test-lab"

[zpatten]

Ya that's definitely missing some bits. I'm guessing this is a result of me, ineffectively, trying to force the chef-server FQDN to the IP and not the default cucumber-chef.test-lab FQDN from the test lab host. Originally it kept trying to redirect me over to https://cucumber-chef.test-lab (as it should of) which would not resolve (and I don't want people having to edit their hosts files to make this work).

I'll refactor the setup/bootstrap to ensure we end up using a configuration like the one you've supplied.

[zpatten]

Seems I'm not overriding properly; these are the current (v3.0.3) attributes passed to the Chef 11.x chef-solo bootstrap run:

        {
          "chef-server" => {
            "nginx" => {
              "enable_non_ssl" => true,
              "server_name" => "localhost",
              "url" => "http://localhost"
            },
            "chef_server_webui" => {
              "enable" => true
            }
          },
          "run_list" => %w(recipe[chef-server::default] role[test_lab])
        }

[zpatten]

OK I've released v3.0.4; this should be resolved now.

[pikesley]

w00t! It works! That's another beer I owe you ;)

[zpatten]

Closing this out since it's been resolved.
