Chef install not working with azure provider

[marka...@gmail.com]

Fairly new to vagrant but managed to fairly easy use virtual box and create a Centos VM that is fully configured with some local apps via Chef.

When I then tried to use Azure (After mastering the settings that in my opinion no-one has really documented properly what you do and don't need and an idiots guide as to how to get them) I found that the chef install no longer worked. Message:

"Vagrant attempted to execute the capability 'chef_install'

on the detect guest OS 'linux', but the guest doesn't

support that capability. This capability is required for your

configuration of Vagrant. Please either reconfigure Vagrant to

avoid this capability or fix the issue by creating the capability."

Offending code in 'Vagrantfile'

  config.vm.provision "chef_apply" do |chef|

    chef.recipe = File.read("./SomeApp.rb")

  end

I did think it was not correctly picking up the OS from Azure so tried hard setting but to no avail.

It is actually failing on the install off chef (chef solo I believe?).

I have seen others have had a similar message related to other installs and seen those described as bugs but nothing related to using chef against an azure VM.

Can anyone point me in the right direction please

what os is?

Azure use a non-standard linux for most of the things.


VAGRANT_LOG=debug vagrant provision

or

VAGRANT_LOG=debug vagrant reload


will tell more info and show where it's failing.

What happen if you install chef on your own?

Centos 6.7

I ran with debug and got no real additional information about the problem.

I was going to try it manually but not sure where to get an install package as doesn't appear to be a yum one? I am not sure what vagrant actually does when it tries to install chef as that would be a useful starter for the manual replication of the problem. I get the impression it is the install method that is the problem to azure but that is a 'stab in the dark'

Basically I have circumvented this problem by pre installing chef myself with the command:

curl -L https://www.opscode.com/chef/install.sh | bash

Would still be interested to know what Vagrant is trying to do

Thanks

Can you share a gist of the debug?

Alvaro,

The debug adds nothing at all extra. Just repeats the 4 lines of error in the original post.

As you properly were, I was at the least expecting to see command it was trying to run.

Hi Mark,

I know you think that the debug logs are not helpful, but we need them to diagnose your issue. There should be a few hundreds lines of debug output, and those help us in diagnosing the issue. The logs also tell us important things like what version of Vagrant you are running, the list of installed plugins, etc. Without those logs, we are shooting in the dark.

Best,

Seth
