ERROR: Failed to load data bag item: "users" "deploy" about chef-user

[danhanly]

I've figured it out.

Essentially, I need to duplicate this data bag and include it within the root installation, then tell vagrant where the data bags are stored. It seems when cookbooks are pulled in via dependencies rather than as the root product, the data bags aren't being honoured.

In my Vagrantfile:

config.vm.provision "chef_solo" do |chef|
    chef.data_bags_path = "chef/data"
end

In my directory structure:

| - chef
| -  - data
| -  -  -  users
| -  -  -  -  deploy.json
| - Vagrantfile

Shouldn't the data bag within the cookbook be honoured?

@danhanly In my experience, you do need to be explicit with these kinds of things. Things (as of recent) have started to get more and more automated.

This has been open for a bit of time with no update, so I'm going to close this issue. Please raise another if you need some help.
