Group :create not working when group already exists on mac_os_x

Cookbook version

2.0.3

Chef-client version

12.11.18

Platform Details

mac_os_x 10.10 x86_64 vagrant jhcook/osx-yosemite-10.10

Scenario:

Not able to add users to existing group if gid provided

users_manage "groupname" do
  group_id 1220
  action [ :remove, :create ]
end

Only works when this group is created by the same users_manage action, otherwise getting "Chef::Exceptions::Group: gid is already in use”

Steps to Reproduce:

Created users databag, added a few users and assigned them to groupname Created a recipe file with the following content:

users_manage "groupname" do
  group_id 1220
  action [ :remove, :create ]
end

Run kitchen create and then kitchen login and created a group with 'sudo dscl . -create /Groups/groupname gid 1220' Run kitchen converge

Also, it users databag contains a user with the name that matches the groupname, this will fail even if groupname didn't exist on the box before.

Expected Result:

Users should be added to the existing group

Actual Result:

"Chef::Exceptions::Group: gid is already in use” The same recipe works ok on centos 6.7 and ubuntu 14.04

Recipe: users::groupname
  * users_manage[groupname] action remove (up to date)
  * users_manage[groupname] action create
...
    * group[groupname] action create
