sudo resource failing under 11.16.2 about sudo HOT 7 CLOSED

Hrm, when using chef 11.12.8, and the sudo LWRP with a template/variables mode, I get a similar error - the Erubis evaluation doesn't see the variables that were set.

I just ran into this problem upgrading from chef 11.4.0 to 11.16.4 and fixed this by upgrading from the sudo cookbook version 2.0.4 to 2.7.1

from sudo.

We finally gave up on trying to make the sudo resource work correctly. Now we just use the cookbook_file resource to drop a file in sudoers.d. It's a crappy work-around. Sure with someone could fix this cookbook.

   cookbook_file "/etc/sudoers.d/myuser" do
     source "myuser"
     mode '0440'
     owner 'root'
     group 'root'
     action :create
   end

from sudo.

I've been struggling with this too. Things changed in Chef 11.6 so if you are having problems with a version previous to this commit:
6565c80

You have two options: either you update your code with the mentioned commit or if you want to keep node['fqdn'] you can apply a patch like this:

@lbosque You reference a commit dating to 2013. I actually have that commit applied already and I'm still having problems (well...was having problems...I started using cookbook_file as detailed above).

While node['fqdn'] may have caused a problem, I'm not sure if it's the cause of the problem I'm reporting.

Ok, as I commented on the thread I was just covering the case where you had
a older version and the problem was node['fqdn'] in case it helped you.
That was actually my case.

Good luck with that

This should be resolved in the latest cookbook as the fqdn logic is removed. Feel free to open it up if it's still a problem.
