I'm trying to make sense out of Policyfile workflow with Chef Server.
So far so good, I'm at the point where lock file is generated and "chef provision" correctly picks up the provisioning cookbooks and starts the converge process.
However, there seems to be no "berks install / berks vendor / knife upload" equivalent with Policyfiles - none of the third-party cookbooks are uploaded to Chef server during "chef push". Therefore, "chef provision" command quite obviously fails with "cannot find cookbooks" error.
Here's the snippet of my Policyfile:
name "policy-test"
# Where to find external cookbooks:
default_source :supermarket
run_list "role[my-book::default]"
cookbook 'my-book', path: './cookbooks/my-book'
cookbook 'java'
cookbook 'chef-teamcity'
When I run "chef push DEV", only "my-book" gets uploaded to Chef server, but none of the others (although they are getting properly mentioned in Policyfile.lock). Is this correct behaviour, or I am doing something wrong?
In the meantime, I have resorted to Berksfile and knife to upload dependencies as a workaround, but this removes a lot of value from having Policyfile in the first place.
Is there a way to make "chef push" upload third-party cookbooks?
Many thanks in advance.
UPDATE:
I have replaced role with recipe, but it still does not work:
Starting Chef Client, version 12.13.37
resolving cookbooks for run list: ["my-book::default"]
================================================================================
Error Resolving Cookbooks for Run List:
================================================================================
Missing Cookbooks:
------------------
The following cookbooks are required by the client but don't exist on the server:
* my-book
Still have to use berks upload / knife upload workaround.
Is this relevant to this issue? https://github.com/chef/chef-dk/issues/901
You can't really use roles with Policyfiles as the policy itself replaces the concept of roles. The push uses the run list to know what to upload, any cookbooks mentioned in the run list or dependencies thereof will be uploaded. In this case you probably want to switch that to recipe[my-book] and instead of listing those two cookbooks in the policy, add them as dependencies in my-book/metadata.rb.

I would like to post a simple stripe integration on render. I apologize in advance for my ignorance on the topic but, since I'm more front-end oriented, it's the first time I've attempted to do such a thing so I would like to ask you
if the repository https://github.com/Luca-Liseros-Ferrari/stripe-example.git is ready to be published, if there is some error that can cause the deploy to fail or if some preliminary operation is required (in the server folder I also have an .env file with the stripe keys and I specified STATIC_DIR = "../client/")
In render.com after clicking on "new" - "web service" and connecting the github repository and considering that from the terminal I start the server.js with the following commands:
cd server
node server.js
how should I fill in the "root directory", "build command" and "start command" fields since it's still not clear to me? Is the root directory the folder that contains the server.js file inside? In my case it would be for example "folderName/server" or simply "server"?
I tried to upload the repository to render but i get the following error message
Failed - Exited with status 1 while running your code.
It also tells me "error cannot find module express"
then I reinstalled express in server folder with npm install express and verified it was already installed. I therefore believe that there is a path error in the phase in which I create the web service.
error snippet
I hope I have provided enough data and I thank anyone who is willing to give me a hand in advance
I solved the problem. I had to specify in render.com in advanced the key - value pairs of my .env file
I noticed it thanks to the Cyclic app which, after loading the repository, warned me that if the app doesn't work it could be because of that
I hope it will help someone
I am trying to run Vorto dashboard on Raspberry Pi to visualize my Bosch IoT "things" data.
In order to run the Vorto Dashboard, I installed npm and nodejs and created the config.json file.
I am getting the below error whenever I try to run the dashboard using the command: sudo vorto-dashboard config.json, knowing that I already added the OAuth2 Client credentials.
No credentials given, can not get things
Could not get the token with given credentials. - StatusCodeError: 400 -
{"error":"unauthorized_client","error_description":"INVALID_CREDENTIALS:
Invalid client credentials"}
I am currently contributing the Vorto Project as an Intern at Bosch. Due to changes in the Vorto-Dashboard we combined and merged the functionality of a previous dashboard with another coexisting updated UI, providing advanced ways to visualize the existing devices.
As the uploaded state was work in progress, we temporarily disabled the config.json methodology and removed existing references from the documentation. Apparently, the reference in the tutorial you found was omitted, sorry for that!
Today, I deployed a new version 0.5.0 of the vorto-dashboard which should work as usual. You are now able to work with either process.env.[...] varibales or a config.json file. Thank you Mena for the quick response!
Feel free to let me know if you need any further help or have additional feedback.
TL;DR
To resolve your issue, store your OAUth credentials as environmental variables.
E.g. in debian et al., export BOSCH_CLIENT_ID=... etc., then start the dashboard in the same terminal.
Context
I was about to ask the same question, as I got the same error message no matter how I referenced the config.json file (relative path, absolute path, no reference, etc.).
For clarification, the tutorial pointing to a config.json resource for storing OAuth credentials is here.
Quoting:
While the dependencies are being installed, create the config.json file and insert client_id, secret and scope from your Already created
OAuth2 Client. The content of the file has to look like this:
{
"client_id": "<YOUR_CLIENT_ID>",
"client_secret": "<YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET",
"scope": "<YOUR_SCOPE>",
"intervalMS": 10000
}
The reference to the config.json file has been removed from the README.md resource in the vorto-dashboard module of vorto-examples.
The latest README.md suggests providing the OAuth credentials through environmental variables:
You can provide your OAuth2 credentials through environment variables.
The three environment variables you have to provide are:
BOSCH_CLIENT_ID
BOSCH_CLIENT_SECRET
BOSCH_SCOPE
[...]
Looking at the source, I can only find an explicit reference to a config.json in the start script entry for package_for_deployment.json (nor anything around the source seems to be consuming, say, argv[2] for that matter).
The AuthToken.js resource in charge of handling OAuth credentials only seems to reference environmental variables through the process.env.[...] references.
Elaboration
This is only speculation at the time of writing, but I suspect the reason why the config.json methodology has been abandoned might have something to do with strengthening security, i.e. not storing OAuth credentials permanently in a file.
If that much is true, then the tutorial page should probably be amended with the latest instructions from the README.md.
So I am new to IBM Bluemix and all of their products and I am trying to do this project http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/library/ba-muse-toycar-app/index.html . I have done all of the modifying of the car and everything I am just having issues with the codes.
I have a few specific questions on part 2 step 2.b when you are entering in the information for the Cloudant database what information do I put in for the cradle connection and how do I acquire that information.
Second when I go to deploy the app Part 2 Step 2.4 how do I navigate to the application directory? I have looked at the help and googled to no avail. So if we fix these things I am hoping that I will be able to deploy the application. However currently when I go to deploy it I get this error.
cf push braincar
Updating app braincar in org ccornwe1#students.kennesaw.edu / space dev as myemailaddress#gmail.com...
OK
Uploading braincar...
FAILED

I am green to all this so any help and explanation to understand it is greatly appreciated! Thanks!
In the tutorial's part 2, step 2.b, you need to specify your Cloudant credentials. There are several ways to get Cloudant credentials, but I'll focus on doing it within the context of Bluemix and the cf command line tool.
You will first need to create a Cloudant service instance, then create a set of service keys (credentials) and then view them.
Create a Cloudant service instance named myCloudantSvc using the Shared plan:
$> cf create-service cloudantNoSQLDB Shared myCloudantSvc
Create a set of service keys (credentials) named cred1:
$> cf create-service-key myCloudantSvc cred1
View the credentials for the service key you just created
$> cf service-key myCloudantSvc creed
With the last step above, you should see output which provides you with the username, password and host values that you'll need to place into your app.js code. It should look something like the following:
{
"host": "xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx-bluemix.cloudant.com",
"password": "longSecretPassword",
"port": 443,
"url": "https://xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx-bluemix:longSecretPassword#xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx-bluemix.cloudant.com",
"username": "xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx-bluemix"
}
For your second question, it looks like you're performing the cf push from your $HOME directory (as mentioned in the comment by #vmovva). By default, the cf push command will send all files in the current directory to Bluemix/CloudFoundry.
Try running the command from the directory where your source code is located to reduce the files pushed to Bluemix. If your source code is intermingled in your $HOME directory, move your source into a different directory and then push from that directory.
I'm developing a web application with ActiveWeb. I wanted to change the package from app.controller to be.coudron.graphplanner.controller
I created a file activewebproperties and placed it in src/main/resources
the contents of the file are:
freeMarkerConfig=be.coudron.graphplanner.config.FreeMarkerConfig
bootstrap=be.coudron.graphplanner.config.AppBootstrap
dbconfig=be.coudron.graphplanner.config.DbConfig
route_config=be.coudron.graphplanner.config.RouteConfig
controllerConfig=be.coudron.graphplanner.config.AppControllerConfig
rootPackage=be.coudron.graphplanner
When I start the app with mvn jetty:run
I get the error:
org.javalite.activeweb.ControllerException: controller must be
in the 'app.controllers' package
What am i doing wrong?
There are no typos in the code nor the package names.
the exception message is self-explanatory: "controller must be in the 'app.controllers' package"
The file activeweb.properties is part of the framework and not editable. With time, you will appreciate simplicity and consistency of the framework. It requires that controllers are placed into app.controllers package. Please, refer to http://javalite.io/structure_of_activeweb_project#location-of-controllers
I am moving from cvsserv1 to cvsserv2. I am running cvs1.11 on current server on RHEL. I am moving to cvsserv2 which is running ubuntu 12. This is my procedure to port cvs:
zip entire repository on cvsserv1
move zip to cvsserv2
extract zip to /home/users on cvsserv2.
setup cvs service on cvsserve2 in pserver mode.
initialize repository on /home/users/cvsroot by using "cvs -d /home/users/cvsroot init"
connect to cvsserv2 from eclipse using anonymous access to do a test checkout.
I am failing on step6 with the error message "no such repository". What am I doing wrong?
UPDATE
I tried to change the above method, by adopting this http://mazanatti.info/archives/67/ and I was partially successful.
At step 3 (as in that link), after initializing repo on cvsserv2, I copied my repository to /var/lib/cvsd/project1, overwriting CVSROOT folder. Now, after finishing all steps, I was able to connect successfully. However, when I try to check out, I don't see any branches. When I tried to Refresh Tags, I receive the following error:
What is going wrong?
Ok. I figured this one out. For those who might encounter this issue again, here's how I managed to identify and fix it:
Eclipse's cvs client sucks - it doesn't give you much information. (I could be wrong, may be it writes some debug info to eclipse log file - still, I think that error message should have been more descriptive). Anyway, I obtained TortoiseCVS and attempted a checkout and it failed with an error message on the lines of -"failed to obtain dir lock in repository `/home/cvsroot/foo'. This is not the exact message, but it was something like that.
So, all I had to do, was go into my cvs dump from cvsserv1, look for references to that directory (which is a valid path on cvsserv1 but not cvsserv2). I found a reference to it in config file under CVSROOT folder. It was assigned to a property called LockDir. This property was referring to a /home/cvsroot/foo on the older server as a lock directory. All I had to do was comment out this property and restart cvsd. Everything started working just fine after this!
