undefined method `join_path' for PoiseArchive::Resources::PoiseArchive::Resource

[Jon Slusher]

I started getting the following error when running a chef-client on nodes using the consul cookbook:

  * consul_installation[1.6.2] action create

    ================================================================================
    Error executing action `create` on resource 'consul_installation[1.6.2]'

version 14.9.13 on centos 7 in AWS

It seems to be a poise dependency. It coincides with an update of the vault cookbook that removes the default recipe and I noticed the poise deps were removed there.

is it by any chance you solved this issue ? I also have this problem.

[Jon Slusher]

I'm working around it at the moment by locking the version of this (consul) cookbook to 3.1.0, but I suspect there needs to be a change in one of the poise-* dependencies before it's fixed.

Hi @jslusher, I tried to pin the consul cookbook on version 3.1.0, but it doesn't seems to temporary resolve the issue. Would you be more specific ?

I see the join_path method in consul libraries, is it possible to do the modification there ?

[Jon Slusher]

I didn't have to do any tampering with the cookbook itself, I just had to set this in metadata.rb in my wrapper cookbook:

depends 'consul', '= 3.1.0'

I can confirm it's broken in the current state @tas50, investigating.

Merged, we can close this.
