Cloudsmith url points to non-existing binary

Testing out 5.9.0 as requested, had the following error:

==> default: * remote_file[/var/chef/cache/rabbitmq-server_3.8.1-1_all.deb] action create_if_missing
==> default: [2021-06-16T13:50:49-07:00] WARN: remote_file[/var/chef/cache/rabbitmq-server_3.8.1-1_all.deb] cannot be downloaded from https://dl.cloudsmith.io/public/rabbitmq/rabbitmq-server-all/raw/versions/3.8.1/rabbitmq-server_3.8.1-1_all.deb: 404 "Not Found"

• Cookbook version used: 5.9.0
• Operating system, version, and patch level

  vagrant@dev:~$ lsb_release -a
  No LSB modules are available.
  Distributor ID: Ubuntu
  Description:    Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS
  Release:    18.04
  Codename:   bionic

• Node attributes

  node.default['rabbitmq']['erlang']['enabled'] = true# Debian
  node.default['rabbitmq']['erlang']['version'] = '1:23.3.4.3-1'

  (Note: rabbitmq does not install by default on this version of ubuntu without specifying the version of erlang. I have no attachment to this specific version.)

• RabbitMQ version provisioned unspecified, received 3.8.1-1 according to error above
• Erlang version provisioned 1:23.3.4.3-1 as that's what was listed in the instructions
• RabbitMQ server and client application log files N/A
• Brief instructions that can be used to reproduce the issue e.g. with Vagrant and chef-solo vagrant destroy && vagrant up with this version of ubuntu and this version of rabbit cookbook and specified node flags

Cloudsmith doesn't have the entire version catalog and the "direct download" repo starts with 3.8.14. These direct downloads can use GitHub which has everything starting with 3.6.x or so.

I don't know where 3.8.1 may be coming from. Grep doesn't reveal it being used anywhere. 3.8.17 is the default version. Ubuntu 18.04 with backports provides 3.8.2.

Can you please try provisioning 3.8.17 as 3.8.1 is a tad out of date?

[nikolawannabe]

Yes, it works if I specify 3.8.17. (I found a spot where a defunct coworker had specified an old version outside of our regular recipe.) I did have to change some things related to the definition file drop, but for the first time in a while, rabbit installed. Thanks!

I have switched v5.x to download files from GitHub. That should cover a few years worth of releases. Cloudsmith's rabbitmq-server-all (a direct download repository) only provisions 3.8.14 plus. GitHub should be perfectly sufficient for remote_file resources.

Can you please update and try with 3.8.17? I suspect that 3.8.1 could be used due to a typo or a Librarian/Berkshelf cache entry?

Below is how I am testing this cookbook so that we are on the same page :)

Test Kitchen

Assuming you have Docker running locally,

export KITCHEN_LOCAL_YAML=.kitchen.dokken.yml
kitchen test "default-deb-ubuntu-1804"

should provision a node and run some Test Kitchen tests using these attributes on Ubuntu 18.04.

The above succeeds for me. To make sure it does use GitHub for downloads, I modify the URL to be incorrect, and the above test fails as expected.

Vagrant

We have a Vagrant-based test repository that needs updating. Currently it fails for me with a VBoxManage startvm error which I cannot immediately explain. Perhaps I need to upgrade Vagrant and VirtualBox.

I'll try again when I'm near a decent Internet connection again.

Ah, I see your above comment. Thanks for the confirmation.

This issue helped me realise that relying on Cloudsmith entirely at the moment would not be very wise. So it definitely spared the users of older version some head scratching 💚
