Install fails on Amazon Machine Linux 2

tomharvey commented 6 years ago

Cookbook version

8.1.2

Chef-client version

12.15.19

Platform Details

Amazon Machine Linux 2 - gbailey/amzn2 vagrant file

Scenario:

Running the default receipt for this cookbook fails.

Looks like https://github.com/chef-cookbooks/nginx/blob/22a1b6365755782e82067d61ab34a0569c5c1704/attributes/repo.rb#L30 is assuming that all amazon platform should use the rhel6 rpm. But Amazon Machine Linux 2 requires rhel7.

AML2 also changes its name /etc/system-release more often than the artist formerly known as Prince.

Steps to Reproduce:

Use a kitchen config file as below:

driver:
  name: vagrant

provisioner:
  name: chef_zero
  product_name: chef
  product_version: 12.15.19

verifier:
  name: inspec

platforms:
  - name: aml2
    driver_config:
      box: gbailey/amzn2

and then include the default recipe of this package and kitchen converge it.

Expected Result:

I expect it to converge.

Actual Result:

It doesn't converge. The key parts of the STDERR message which lead me to the line of code above are:

Any ETA or workaround on this one. We are testing the same on Linux 2 and still getting the same rhel6 error.

I would assume it’s somewhat dependent on https://github.com/chef/ohai/pull/1214 being released, which will allow the project to correctly get platform info from ohai
