LoadError: cannot load such file -- search/overrides

[Rodeoclash]

I might be missing something obvious here (I'm follow instructions from http://blog.atwam.com/blog/2013/06/10/configuring-chef-solo-for-our-servers/)

Adding the cookbook (via Berksfile)

cookbook 'chef-solo-search'

Results in the error

LoadError: cannot load such file -- search/overrides

When I try to provision using vagrant. I've followed the instructions and the additional details in ticket 8 (including copying the search.rb and parser.rb files into a dummy cookbook) but it does not make any difference.

Any ideas?

Unfortunately the cookbook on the community site is not usable due to a Chef bug/restriction. You need to configure Berkshelf to download it from Github. So put to Berksfile something like:

cookbook 'chef-solo-search', github: 'edelight/chef-solo-search', ref: '0.4.0'

[Rodeoclash]

What a chore!

Still not having much luck:

@Rodeoclash that might be related to berkshelf/vagrant-berkshelf#17
Does it work if you reload or halt/up the VM?

Or maybe the broken 0.4.0 version was still cached. You can nuke it with rm -r ~/.berkshelf/cookbooks/chef-solo-search-*.

[Rodeoclash]

Good call on the cache, I blew that away and vagrant up/provision and everything worked fine. Still new to this so thanks for the help!

I have cookbook 'chef-solo-search', github: 'edelight/chef-solo-search', tag: '0.4.0' in my Berksfile and have removed the already downloaded cookbook but it always shows Installing chef-solo-search (0.4.0) from site: 'http://cookbooks.opscode.com/api/v1/cookbooks'.

I also upgraded my chef-client to 11.6.0, Berkshelf is version 2.0.8, Kitchen is at 1.0.0.beta.2. Any idea what I am doing wrong?

[tmatilai]

Just a wild guess but maybe the Berksfile.lock has old reference? Anyway this seems more of a Berkshelf issue than chef-solo-search issue.

[micxer]

Thanks a lot. That was the one thing I overlooked!
