Persistent compile error in deploy::default

[jkalbfeld]

For the last 24 hours, I have been seeing this. Even with stock deployments, this seems to fail, with zero custom cookbooks. Has anyone run into this error at all with the stock cookbooks?

Recipe Compile Error in /var/lib/aws/opsworks/cache.stage2/cookbooks/deploy/recipes/default.rb

ArgumentError

You must supply a name when declaring a group resource

Hey Jonathan,

thanks for your report.

Can you please provide your AWS OpsWorks instance id of the instance you see this problem? This makes it easier to find the cause of the problem.

Thank you Florian

BTW, we are seeing this on multiple stacks that share no application or cookbook code. Some of them have not been modified in months.

As it turns out, you can't create a cookbook with the name of a reserved cookbook. It will completely obliterate the built-in cookbook. We had one named deploy:: that was confusing the parser on the OpsWorks side.
