Getting "wrong number of arguments (2 for 0)" when installing.

Question

Getting "wrong number of arguments (2 for 0)" when installing.

hemikak opened this issue 9 years ago · comments

Hi all,
I am trying to create a mysql database in my recipe. But when I tried to create the database, I got the following error.

"cannot load such file -- mysql2"

I think I found the fix for it at http://lists.opscode.com/sympa/arc/chef/2015-02/msg00244.html.

But when I added the following code to my recipe and error pops out.

mysql2_chef_gem 'default' do
action :install
end

Error executing action `install` on resource 'mysql2_chef_gem[default]'
================================================================================

  retries 0
  retry_delay 2
  default_guard_interpreter :default
  declared_type :mysql2_chef_gem
  cookbook_name :wso2_mb_mysql_database
  recipe_name "default"
end

I also added "depends 'mysql2_chef_gem', '~> 1.0.1'" in my metadeta file. I am using MAC OS X Yosemite and my ruby version is "ruby 2.1.3p242 (2014-09-19 revision 47630) [x86_64-darwin14.0]"

Any idea how I can get passed this ?

@SenthilnathanVedi: do you still have the full output/stack trace for the failure available? Would you mind pasting it here or in a gist?

my database.rb is same as that of tutorial. Anyways the first 15 lines code from my database.rb :

Cookbook Name:: awesome_customers

Recipe:: database

Copyright (c) 2015 The Authors, All Rights Reserved.

Configure the mysql2 Ruby gem.

mysql2_chef_gem 'default' do
action :install
end

Configure the MySQL client.

mysql_client 'default' do
action :create
end

It looks like this is an issue with the provider map. I ran into the same issue on 12.4.1 and from what I can tell when Chef attempts to find the provider it falls through to the Name match which is returning Chef::Provider::Mysql2ChefGem instead of Chef::Provider::Mysql2ChefGem::Mysql

Martin Smith · Answer 12 · Mon Sep 14 2015 17:36:50 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

A workaround for the caller might be #6:

mysql2_chef_gem 'default' do
  provider Chef::Provider::MysqlChefGem::Mysql
  action :install
end

However, ultimately the resource or provider classes should probably just be renamed so that the resource, when converted to a string, doesn't String match against an abstract base class Chef::Resource::Mysql2ChefGem.

This is pedantic, so I apologize, but for anyone using @martinb3 's fix, which works great btw, the Class name is Mysql2ChefGem, with a '2'.

provider Chef::Provider::Mysql2ChefGem::Mysql

Thanks @martinb3

Also, just a note, while we encountered this in a chef upgrade from 12.4.x to 12.5.1, it should also be noted that we were in the process of upgrading from centos 6.6 to centos 7.1

The resources have been rewritten for the 2.0 release of this cookbook. This is probably resolves at this point. Feel free to open it back up if you're still having the issue
