Scenario:

Attempting to validate a minimal use-case converge in test-kitchen via wrapper cookbook

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Initialize blank cookbook
2. Add default['chef-server']['accept_license'] = true to attributes/default.rb
3. Add include_recipe 'chef-server' to recipes/default.rb
4. Add depends 'chef-server' to metadata.rb
5. Add run_list: my-wrapper-cookbook to kitchen.yml
6. Run kitchen converge

Expected Result:

Expecting vagrant VM with chef-server package installed

Actual Result:

Chef converge fails with

[Ed Overton]

The following must be fixed first:
Honors accept_license for the Chef Infra Server install #159 (#159)
Honoring Chef Infra Server license accept #241 (chef-cookbooks/chef-ingredient#241)

[Peng Yang]

You may try this workaround.

1. Define an attribute:
   default['chef-server']['chef_license'] = 'accept' # user defined attribute

2. Copy all the content of default.rb in chef-server cookbook to your recipe and add the attribute:

chef_ingredient 'chef-server' do
  extend ChefServerCookbook::Helpers
  version node['chef-server']['version'] unless node['chef-server']['version'].nil?
  package_source node['chef-server']['package_source']
  config <<-EOS
topology "#{node['chef-server']['topology']}"
#{"api_fqdn \"#{node['chef-server']['api_fqdn']}\"" if api_fqdn_available?}
chef_license "#{node['chef-server']['chef_license']}"
#{node['chef-server']['configuration']}
  EOS
  action :install
end
