errors installing rvm_passenger v0.8.2 ... however v0.8.0 works fine ???

[stepheneb]

Am using librarian 0.0.26.

This Chefile spec for rvm_passenger works fine:

cookbook 'rvm_passenger', :git => 'git://github.com/fnichol/chef-rvm_passenger.git', :ref => 'v0.8.0'

However trying to update to v0.8.2 causes the undefined method `correct?' error:

cookbook 'rvm_passenger', :git => 'git://github.com/fnichol/chef-rvm_passenger.git', :ref => 'v0.8.2'

I tried to simplify the problem and got a different error.

I deleted librarian's cache in the tmp dir and then tried to update just rvm_passenger

$ librarian-chef update --verbose rvm_passenger

The second error is different from the first error because thor, the CLI framework that we use, requires positional arguments (rvm_passenger) to come before named arguments (--verbose). In other words, add --verbose to the end of the command rather than in the middle.

[stepheneb]

I get the same error if I remove --verbose

The line you gave above - is that the full Cheffile or just the relevant part of it?

[stepheneb]

Here's the full Cheffile:

Thanks!

Gisted for future reference.

The rvm_passenger cookbook adds some constraints between v0.8.0 and v0.8.2. Librarian's resolver seems not to be handling this case well.

For now, you can force the upgrade by

• adding a constraint on the apache2 cookbook of "~> 1.1.8"
• changing the ref of the rvm_passenger cookbook
• running librarian-chef install

[lukeasrodgers]

FWIW I ran into a similar issue, which was due to the old cookbook I was using not having a name attribute in metadata.rb (https://github.com/opscode/chef/issues/1712). librarian-chef install fixed the issue.

[heaven]

This error is still there, there's nothing about the particular cookbook, just tried librarian update postgresql and got the same error.

Was able to fix by replacing this line https://github.com/applicationsonline/librarian/blob/master/lib/librarian/manifest_set.rb#L140 with the following:

names.concat index[name] ? index[name].dependencies.map(&:name) : []
