chef-solo just hangs for docker

[treyhyde]

The chef-solo provisioner just hangs. I've tried this with a few different images including ubuntu:14.04 and learn/tutorial. I've tried overriding install_command but that doesn't help

I'm very new to docker but something looks a little odd with InstallCommand and ExecuteCommand. It appears to me that docker run doesn't actually execute in a shell and so using commands with shell operators like | and > don't work as expected. Regardless, I've been unable to get beyond InstallCommand. The system is idle while it is waiting forever for InstallCommand to return.

  "cookbook_paths": ["cookbooks"],
  "run_list" : ["test::default"]
}

I am experiencing the same issue.

I ran your exact command and this looks to be fixed.
