Undefined method or attribute `cpan_client' on `node'

[johnc10uk]

Not sure if this is a version problem or missing a cookbook but chef cannot find the cpan_client. I only have cpan cookbook installed.

include_recipe 'cpan::default' include_recipe 'cpan::bootstrap'

Thanks, John.

Hi John! Could you provide complete stack trace? It's not obvious which line at the error occurred. does chunk nagios_server: [2014-06-26T08:04:59+00:00] FATAL: NoMethodError: Undefined method or attribute cpan_client' onnode' have a line number?

[melezhik]

oh, I see ... - it's line number 3 at bootstrap.rb recipe ...

[melezhik]

Please let me know HOW you use cpan cookbook? It's show only that one calls somewhere:

include_recipe 'cpan::default' include_recipe 'cpan::bootstrap'

Do you have this at somewhere's cookbooks metadata.rb:

 depends 'cpan'

To my previous comment - I just only want to say, that it seems, according to stack trace, chef can not find cpan_client attribute, which is defined in cpan cookbook, which in turn may be cased that one does not declare dependency in cpan cookbook in metadata.rb file.
