NameError: wrong constant name Chef-rvmGlobalGem about rvm

[fnichol]

Thanks for the stacktrace, that will help. Out of curiosity, what is the name of the rvm cookbook in your cookbooks/ directory? Is it rvm/ or chef-rvm/?

[whylom]

It's called chef-rvm/. I copied the cookbook folder to rvm/ to see if that might be a quick fix, but I got the same result.

[fnichol]

Ok, thanks for trying that. Clearly something else going on. Did the stacktrace output change at all? I'm guessing the error might be slightly different...

[whylom]

The stacktrace did not change at all, I'm afraid.

Ok, I isolated the cookbook right down like you have in your Vagrantfile example and was able to reproduce this when calling the rvm cookbook chef-rvm. You would need to run a vagrant destroy to completely wipe out your vagrant box, then name cookbooks/chef-rvm to cookbooks/rvm and re-run vagrant up to start from scratch.

If you're still having problems however, could you turn on chef debug level logging and post a gist of your output? Here's my example of a successful run, the reproduced issue and a Vagrantfile example with debug logging turned on.

That fixed it! Thanks for taking the time to help me with this - I greatly appreciate it!

[fnichol]

That's great to hear! I think the "fix" will be to add a section in the readme explaining how you can install it. That's on my list in any case.

Renaming the cookbook name fixed the issue for me, too.

On RHL 5.7, any recipe I run, even simple one: { "run_list": [ "recipe[ntp]" ] } yields same result:
"NameError: wrong constant name ChefOpenindiana.Role"
Can anyone point me in a direction that might fix this? Thanks!

If you are using Librarian-Chef, then you can add this line to your Cheffile:

cookbook "rvm",
  :git => "https://github.com/fnichol/chef-rvm",
  :ref => "v0.8.2" # optional

The next time you run librarian-chef install, Librarian will download the fnichol/chef-rvm cookbook but install it as rvm in your cookbooks directory.

I set up my chef server to run chef-solo since there is no other chef server to provision it, and this is the server that gives the error. Other RHEL5.7 chef clients work fine, and the chef server works well as the server. I did not use librarian-chef install, but I can set-up as you describe and give it a try...

[yfeldblum]

Be careful using Librarian for only one cookbook, because it's designed to be used for all the cookbooks in your chef-repo and once and it takes control of your cookbooks directory, managing the cookbooks in there according to what's in your Cheffile.
