Properties for repositories don't work

[praste]

Hi,
I am trying to use properties to create hosted, proxy and group repos, but looks like these properties are completely ignored.

Here are the attributes that I added to attributes/default.rb

default[:nexus][:hosted_repositories] = [{name: "My Test Repo",publisher: true}]

default[:nexus][:proxy_repositories] = [{ name: "My Proxy Repo", subscriber: true, publisher: false, url: "http://some-other-nexus/repo" }]

default[:nexus][:group_repositories] = [ {name: "My Group Repo", add: ["My Hosted Repo"], remote: ["My Proxy Repo"] }]

am I missing something?

Sorry, I think that particular feature was removed. The README may need updating. My current recommendation is to use this cookbook to set up your default server and write your own 'wrapper' cookbook that encapsulates some extra setup behavior.

I am a bit new to chef, hence pardon my ignorance. Today I tried to create repo using 'resources' approach. I added following to recipe/app.rb

nexus_hosted_repository node[:nexus][:name] do
name 'local_snapshots'
publisher true
end

However, I keep getting error "ERROR: nexus_hosted_repository[local_snapshots](nexus::app line 111) had an error: TypeError: can't convert Array into String"

I don't understand which variable it thinks is of type Array ???

Can you create a gist of the full stack trace? I'd like to see the compiled Chef resource as well if possible.

Seems like there is something wrong with your data bag setup. My guess would be maybe you aren't passing an encrypted data bag secret in your run?

[praste]

You mean

chef.encrypted_data_bag_secret_key_path = File.join(chef_dir, "encrypted_data_bag_secret")

I am already doing that. Is there additional step required?
My data bag is in ~/.chef/data_bags directory
Secrete file is in ~/.chef directory

[praste]

I think I found the issue. Following line is causing the error as default chef environment is '_default' and we are trying to load file with that id

/libraries/chef_nexus.rb:203
data_bag_item = encrypted_data_bag_item(node, data_bag, node.chef_environment)

[atoulme]

I have the same issue, and being a newbie myself, I'm not sure I understand what you did to fix the problem. Would you please help me understand how to fix the issue?

[praste]

I send a patch to fix the issue, which is now incorporated into the
cookbook. You can download cookbook source and it would work (I am not sure
if cookbook was with patch was released to opscode's cookbook repository)

Thank you!

[atoulme]

Hmmm, I'm still getting the same problem. I will investigate further.

[praste]

you mean issue with the databag ? Are you running chef solo? If yes then you might want to have following config in ~/.chef/knife.rb

log_level                :info
log_location             STDOUT
node_name                'solo'
cache_type               'BasicFile'
current_dir = File.dirname(__FILE__)
cookbook_path ["#{current_dir}/cookbooks"]
role_path "#{current_dir}/roles"
data_bag_path "#{current_dir}/data_bags"
chef_repo_path "."

and make sure that directory pointed to data_bag_path has directory named nexus which in turn contains a databag named _wildcard.json

[atoulme]

I actually use Berkshelf+Vagrant.
It turned out I was missing a chef.data_bags_path = "data_bags" instruction in my VagrantFile.
Once I placed that in, I still had a little fight with knife to encrypt the nexus_ssl_files data bag (apparently it is required even if you try to disable proxy).
