Problem with installing XQuartz-2.7.4, CCMenu, KeyCastr, JavaForOSX etc. under Mavericks

[rdy]

We got the following output when executing soloist under mavericks when it tried to install osx apps recipes. We had to manually install the XQuartz package in order to proceed. Somehow the installer is not proceeding correctly from soloist.

Looks like packages coming from a dmg file do not work correctly, not sure exactly why. This could be due to some race condition trying to mount the dmg and reading it before it is ready. We are using a late 2013 iMac with an SSD.

It seems like things installed by brew cask install seemed to work correctly, but anything with a custom installation through rsync or by manipulating files in the volume seemed to fail.

    - execute the ruby block attach /var/chef/cache/XQuartz.dmg

I just logged the same issue (#34)

[kfitzpatrick]

I saw the same issue on 10.8.5 Mountain Lion

Thanks for reporting this @rdy & @gal-at-aljazeera, I'm working on fixes.

For the things that work with cask you should be able edit your soloistrc to switch to using sprout-homebrew::casks to install the cask instead of sprout-osx-apps. We're planning to drop recipes in sprout-osx-apps that have a corresponding cask.

@kfitzpatrick we've dropped support for mountain-lion unfortunately. Happy to review and accept a PR to the mountain-lion branch of sprout (not sprout-wrap) if it's a really important fix (e.g. a security update).

@rdy, @gal-at-aljazeera, @kfitzpatrick

Any chance you'd be able to submit individual issues for each recipe that's broken on Mavericks to the sprout (not sprout-wrap) since that's where the recipes live.

PRs to convert them to use homebrew cask with the provided LWRP would be even more awesome.

I'm working on converting xquartz and java. KeyCastr seems to work for me.

If there is a more general DMG mounting issue on Mavericks, perhaps the best place to report & fix this is in Opscode's dmg cookbook?

[kfitzpatrick]

Thanks Abhi.

@rdy @kfitzpatrick @gal-at-aljazeera I just pushed 6ff8d1a48828c, this does fix things for you?

Thanks.

[gal-at-aljazeera]

Will try to run again on the next machine as soon as I can and report back. If it still happens - I'll try to do as @hiremaga describes, at least I can give it a shot. If you have a commit in place for the ones you fixed, can you point me to it?

[rdy]

@hiremaga I'll give this a try soon and let you know.

[kfitzpatrick]

Works like a charm. I upgraded to Mavericks this afternoon and it ran perfectly the first time and had a fast, clean second run

[codeword]

is this issue closable? @rdy is your issue resolved?

[gal-at-aljazeera]

Yes - this worked for us as well. Thank you.

[rdy]

@hiremaga @codeword yup this fixes my issue, I'd love to see this released when you can.

[hiremaga]

Great!

The fix in sprout is referenced by head of sprout-wrap's master, is that what you meant by released?
