zypper_repo is overriding the resource from the client

[nkovacne]

Cookbook version

8.1.6

Chef-client version

14.5.33

Platform Details

CentOS 7, Ubuntu 14, Ubuntu 16

Scenario:

Trying to converge a cookbook that includes nginx::package, the following deprecation warning is shown:

Resource zypper_repo from a cookbook is overriding the resource from the client. Please upgrade your cookbook or remove the cookbook from your run_list before the next major release of Chef. at 1 location:
 - /opt/chef/embedded/lib/ruby/gems/2.5.0/gems/chef-14.5.33/lib/chef/log.rb:51:in `caller_location'
 See https://docs.chef.io/deprecations_map_collision.html for further details.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Create a platform of any of the above specified operating systems, and include a run list that includes at least the nginx::package recipe.
2. Converge it in kitchen.

Expected Result:

No warning should be shown

Actual Result:

The deprecation warning is shown. Not sure, but maybe now zypper_repo is a core resource and that's the reason why it warns about the override?

Make sure you've filled out all the fields in our issue template. Make sure you've provided us with the version of chef-client you're running, your operating system and the version of the cookbook.

Finally please give us a detailed description of the issue you're having. The more we know about what you're trying to do, what actually happens, and how you can reproduce the problem, the better.

I am getting the same deprecation warning in a wrapper cookbook.

Getting the same deprecation warning here in a wrapper cookbook:

 Resource zypper_repo has been loaded from a cookbook. The resource zypper_repo is now included in Chef and will take precedence over the existing cookbook resource in the next major release of Chef (15.0, April 2019). You may be able to remove this cookbook dependency from your runlist if you do not use other recipes/resources/libraries from the cookbook. Alternatively there may be a newer version of this cookbook without the zypper_repo resource. at 1 location:
    - /opt/chef/embedded/lib/ruby/gems/2.5.0/gems/chef-14.4.56/lib/chef/log.rb:51:in `caller_location'

nginx is the only thing loading a zypper cookbook according to my Berksfile.lock:

  nginx (8.1.6)
    build-essential (>= 5.0)
    ohai (>= 4.1.0)
    yum-epel (>= 0.0.0)
    zypper (>= 0.0.0)

running into the same issue. zypper is the package repo for SuSe, so if you're not using this (since you're only using CentOS, Ubuntu for platforms), you can comment out the dependency in metadata.rb to get past this issue.

change this

depends 'zypper'

to

# depends 'zypper'

A long term fix would be ideal.

I've released a new version of this cookbook (9.0), which no longer depends on the zypper cookbook. This does increase the required version of Chef to 13.3, but since that came out Aug 2017 I think it's a fair assumption to make.

@tas50 - can confirm this fixes this issue - thank you!
