knife vra <command> fails #53

Closed mcascone closed 4 years ago

mcascone commented 4 years ago

Versions

Platform Details

Scenario

Get info from the vRA API using knife

Steps to Reproduce

Run chef shell-init powershell | invoke-expression Install the gem with chef gem install knife-vrealize Run any knife vra command: knife vra server create, knife vra catalog list etc

Expected Result

get the expected result of the commands - a server is spun up, the list is returned, etc

Actual Result

Fatal errors. One thing i notice is that the gem itself appears to be coming from C:/Users/mcascone1/AppData/Local/chefdk/gem/ruby/2.7.0/gems/. Is that correct? I thought that by using chef gem install and/or chef shell-init powershell they'd be put in the right place.

Fatal errors:

I've just noticed that running a non-vra basic knife command fails too, with the same error:

When I chef gem uninstall knife-vrealize, knife commands work again.

@mcascone Please check if updating your GEM_PATH & GEM_HOME to C:/opscode/chef-workstation/embedded/lib/ruby/gems/2.7.0 resolves this issue.

Interesting; I thought that's what chef shell-init powershell does? What might cause mine to be set to my user appdata? I'll change and test and report.

FWIW the output of chef shell-init powershell (without the | invoke-expression) is:

$env:GEM_PATH="C:/Users/mcascone1/AppData/Local/chefdk/gem/ruby/2.7.0;C:/opscode/chef-workstation/embedded/lib/ruby/gems/2.7.0"

So i'll set gem_home and gem_path to gem_root.

Update: after setting those vars and installing the gem, i still get the same errors. And it looks like it was still installed to the same place. I see the PATH warning there, but don't we not want the gems installed in our home dir? I am not as knowledgeable as I'd like to be in this area so please excuse if i am doing something dumb.

I thought at first it was an issue between Powershell 5.1 and 7, but i've done everything i can think to do regarding those $env:gem_x vars, and the gem is still getting installed to C:/Users/mcascone1/AppData/Local/chefdk/gem/ruby/2.7.0/gems/knife-vrealize-6.0.0/, and the knife call fails. To be clear I'm always using chef install gem knife-vrealize. I'm out of ideas. Help?

dheerajd-msys commented 4 years ago

Can you check removing this from PATH C:/Users/mcascone1/AppData/Local/chefdk/gem/ruby/2.7.0/bin and keep GEM_PATH & GEM_HOME to C:/opscode/chef-workstation/embedded/lib/ruby/gems/2.7.0

Errors you are getting is only due to incorrect path vars.

mcascone commented 4 years ago

It's gotta be. So, i checked my PATH in the windows system properties control panel, and that path isn't in it.

I remembered that my $PROFILE runs chef shell-init powershell | iex every time. So in a fresh shell, my path is:

This is the result of the shell-init at the launching of the shell. When i run refreshenv, i get the path i would expect from my system settings:

Why would the shell-init be putting my user path in there? Especially with a chefdk component in the path? Anyway, i'll try installing with the refreshed path, and report.

mcascone commented 4 years ago

Alright, now i really don't understand.

I reset my path, set $env:gem_home and $env:gem_path to $env:gem_root which is C:/opscode/chef-workstation/embedded/lib/ruby/gems/2.7.0.

I even renamed C:\Users\mcascone1\AppData\Local\chefdk to ...\chefdk-backup.

I put the gem in my gemfile and ran chef exec bundle install.

It still installs into my chefdk folder! It creates a new one and installs to it!

Where is that path configured?

mcascone commented 4 years ago

this is still an issue, on multiple machines; any ideas?

mcascone commented 4 years ago

i tried installing on a completely different machine and got exactly the same result. I can't even knife rehash with this gem installed.

@dheerajd-msys this is going to become a big embarrassing issue for me in the very near future, how can i get this gem to work?

Based on this github issue, i got some more insight but i still don't know how to fix it.

prior to running chef shell-init powershell | iex, I don't have $env:gem_home/path set. After running that, they are set to the "bad" path:

> $env:gem_home
> chef shell-init powershell | iex
> $env:gem_home
C:/Users/mcascone1/AppData/Local/chefdk/gem/ruby/2.7.0
> $env:gem_path
C:/Users/mcascone1/AppData/Local/chefdk/gem/ruby/2.7.0;C:/opscode/chef-workstation/embedded/lib/ruby/gems/2.7.0

But $env:gem_root is still set to the 'good' path:

> $env:gem_root
C:/opscode/chef-workstation/embedded/lib/ruby/gems/2.7.0

The 'bad' path is visible in my Ruby env vars:

> chef gem env | select-string -Context 2 chefdk

       - C:/opscode/chef-workstation/embedded/bin
       - C:\Program Files\PowerShell\7

I tried setting all the $env:gem_x paths in my windows env vars, and opening a new shell, and those chefdk paths just won't go away.

How can I get this chefdk path out of here, permanently?

mcascone commented 4 years ago

@mwrock, you're my hero. Any idea when this will be released?

mwrock commented 4 years ago

Should be soon. We are currently prepping a release.

mcascone commented 4 years ago

Thank you so much. Do you have any insight on what's going on with the zombie chefdk path, described in detail in the thread? Is it all related to the bug you fixed, or is something hinky with my environment (and on the other env I tested on and had the same problem)?

mwrock commented 4 years ago

I think workstation adds that path but if it does not exist it should not have anything to do with the bug.

mcascone commented 3 years ago

Just coming back to confirm that this appears to be fixed in v6.0.2. THANK YOU!!
