ERROR: private method `include' called for Chef::Resource::Machine:Class

[thebsdbox]

I've redeployed Chef / all of the gem deployment pieces three times, and I always get the same set of errors:

Generated at 2016-03-15 16:34:28 +0000 NoMethodError: private methodinclude' called for Chef::Resource::Machine:Class /home/chef/.gem/ruby/gems/cheffish-2.0.2/lib/cheffish.rb:117:in node_attributes' /home/chef/.gem/ruby/gems/chef-provisioning-1.6.0/lib/chef/resource/machine.rb:31:inclass:Machine' /home/chef/.gem/ruby/gems/chef-provisioning-1.6.0/lib/chef/resource/machine.rb:8:in <class:Resource>'

Does anyone have an idea what may be causing this error, It's clearly something with

require 'chef/provisioning'

@thebsdbox , what Ruby version are you running? And where did this fail in the process?

Also, what OS & version are you running? I can try to reproduce the error.

Thanks @jsmartt

Here is the version output..

[root@ovd-chef ~]# ruby -v

CentOS Linux release 7.2.1511 (Core) 
[root@ovd-chef ~]# chef-client -v
Chef: 12.8.1
[root@ovd-chef ~]# gem -v

[root@ovd-chef ~]# gem list

io-console (0.4.2)
json (1.7.7)

Alternatively can you let me know what your base versions are and I can just recreate a matching environment.

Thanks,

@thebsdbox, the only thing that I'd be concerned with is the ruby version. I just brought up a box to try to duplicate it, but chef and chefdk both install ruby 2.1.6. Would you be able to upgrade that and give it another try?

[thebsdbox]

So ... the fix for using ruby and OneView provisioning on CentOS 7.x is as follows:

yum remove ruby ruby-devel

yum groupinstall -y 'development tools'

command curl -sSL https://rvm.io/mpapis.asc | gpg2 --import -

curl -L get.rvm.io | bash -s stable

source /etc/profile.d/rvm.sh

rvm reload

rvm install 2.2

curl -L https://www.opscode.com/chef/install.sh | bash

gem install 'chef-provisioning-oneview'

It's now almost working .. :-)

@thebsdbox , thanks for the update. Added this to the Troubleshooting Wiki

How are you running the recipe?

Chef comes with it's own version of ruby, so I'm surprised that upgrading your system ruby fixed it unless it was never using the Chef ruby in the first place.

I imagine this is my fault, because the installation instructions in the readme show how to install it on the system ruby, which is more for development. This really needs to be updated to install using a chef recipe with:

chef_gem 'chef-provisioning-oneview'

To be clear, to use the driver you don't need a separate system ruby; just the ruby that comes with the chef-client or ChefDK. I put up PR #45 to address this.

Looks good, thanks.

I've everything running smoothly now.
