Hello, @benlu36.

This is expected behavior. knife cookbook upload does not solve any cookbook dependencies, and as you discovered, the audit cookbook depends on the compat_resource cookbook.

There are two ways to solve this:

1. You can download the compat_resource cookbook manually and knife cookbook upload it first, or.

2. You can use Berkshelf to upload both the compat_resource cookbook and the audit cookbook.

I would recommend using Berkshelf as it will make sure the right versions of the right dependency cookbooks are downloaded and then uploaded to your Chef Server.

From the audit cookbook directory itself, you should be able to do a berks install and then a berks upload and it will upload the cookbooks to your Chef Server for you.

I hope this helps!

Yeah, that a lot of warnings you can ignore - that's fixed in the upcoming ChefDK release.

So, you ran berks install and it completed successfully! Great! This downloaded all the dependencies, etc. to your local berkshelf. Now if you do a berks upload it should upload everything it needs to your Chef Server.

berks upload -- > works, it uploaded all cookbooks to chef server.

Thanks, @adamleff !

Hi,

It looks like you might be new to Chef. The problem you are seeing is that knife cookbook upload is expecting that all dependencies of the cookbook are handled. You can't upload a cookbook to the Chef Server without uploading its dependencies. This isn't a problem specific to this cookbook, it's something that you need to understand and deal with for any cookbook that you use. The metadata.rb file will indicate what dependencies there are. You can either manually handle the dependencies by downloading them from the supermarket and uploading them, or you can use a tool like berkshelf to handle the dependencies. If you look at the Berksfile that is included you'll see that it will pull from the public supermarket https://supermarket.chef.io.

Oops. I started to respond to this earlier, and just got back to it. Just realized that @adamleff has already answered more thoroughly! Thanks @adamleff!

High-five, @iennae 🙂
