nexus is redeployed everytime

[ramonskie]

i noticed that every chef-run nexus is redeployed

is this normal behavior or did i do something wrong

I am seeing this as well. Definitely makes running chef-client in daemon mode a non-starter.

I had the same issue using nexus cookbook from supermarket, this did not create "shared/tmp" folder and symlink to it - so generated manifest file differs each time.
Using latest cookbook version directly from this repo solved this for me.

Maybe this info help to nail down your issue.

[ramonskie]

okay thanks i will check this out

[ramonskie]

i have found my problem
because we are setting the memory settings in the wrapper file

nexus is trying to redeploy it self every time
and i can't seem to find where that happens

[ramonskie]

i see now that it is the artifact cookbook is checking file changes
this can be solved by setting "skip_manifest_check"

but this must be set in the nexus cookbook itself :(

so the best option should be to integrate this possibility
to add the attribute

default [:nexus][:skip_manifest_check] = false

and set

skip_manifest_check  node[:nexus][:skip_manifest_check]

under line
https://github.com/RiotGamesCookbooks/nexus-cookbook/blob/master/recipes/app.rb#L23

i can make a pull request if needed

[ramonskie]

pull request see #119

[fishnix]

I have this issue as well 👍

As a workaround add the following in a wrapper cookbook after including the nexus recipe (e.g. nexus::app:

resources("artifact_deploy[#{node['nexus']['name']}]").skip_manifest_check true

+1 to merge this pull request from my side. I also have to edit the wrapper to set memory sizes, which causes a nexus restart.
