Safari Books Online | http://techbus.safaribooksonline.com/9781491945087/_search_in_a_recipe_using_test_kitchen_html Example 12-1 |
Example 12-1, the full listing of kitchen.yml, uses data_bags_path where it should use nodes_path. The paragraph immediately before appears correct when it says, "Edit the .kitchen.yml make sure you are using the chef_zero provisioner and our favorite basebox image as shown in Example 12-1. Notice there is a new addition to the provisioner: stanza, the nodes_path: provisioner: name: chef_zero nodes_path: ../../nodes nodes_path is a relative path pointing to the chef-playground/nodes directory we created with our test data in Chapter 11." However, example 12-1 does not match this, and has: provisioner: name: chef_zero data_bags_path: ../../nodes Note from the Author or Editor: |

"When chef-client is running in local mode, it simulates a full Chef Server instance in memory. Any data that would have been saved to a server is written to the local directory. The process of writing server data locally is called writeback. This is why client-client created the nodes/ directory. Local mode was designed for a new user to get up to speed quickly learning Chef." In the 4th sentence "client-client" should be "chef-client". |

Page 48 command in the middle of the page |
When I try to follow the procedure in chapter 4, after running the 'bundle exec kitchen converge default-centos-64' command from page 48, no cookbook is run (and so motd is not changed in the virtual machine). When I compare the log in the book to what I see on my machine, I see 'Berksfile, Cheffile, cookbooks/, or metadata.rb not found so Chef will run with effectively no cookbooks. Is this intended?' on my box. Note from the Author or Editor: |

In the code block for the "reconfigure-chef-server" resource, the command is "chef-server-ctl reconfigure" while in other locations (pp. 155 and 160) "private-chef-ctl" is used instead.
