It seems not compatible with Chef 11.4.4 and Ruby 2.0.0p451 on OpsWorks about kafka HOT 11 CLOSED

Unfortunately this cookbook does not (currently) support Chef < 11.6.0. The README states that version 11.8.2+ is needed, though I played around with a few versions earlier today and it seems to work on Chef 11.6.0+, it does however fail miserably on Chef 11.4.4 (though not with the same error as you've posted).

I suppose the OpsWorks uses plain old Chef 11.4.4 and doesn't add any patches on their own?

Curious, have you tried this with Chef 11.10 on OpsWorks?

from kafka.

I suppose that you're referring to @wangqi here, but I thought I'd just chime in and say that it should work perfectly fine with Chef 11.10 as the features of Chef that this cookbook uses were introduced in 11.6 (I believe).

from kafka.

Yes, I came across this because I'm looking at deploying on OpsWorks if possible. I see that Chef 11.10.4 passes in Travis.

from kafka.

Yeah. We're currently running a Kafka cluster in our staging environment using Chef 11.8, though we're not using OpsWorks, and I have no clue whether Amazon has applied any patches of their own to the Chef version used in OpsWorks, so I can't really say whether it works without a hitch or not :/.

I uploaded our customized kafka cookbook to github (https://github.com/wangqi/kafka-cookbook-with-opswork), it works with OpsWorks with 11.4. However since I cannot opensource our whole chef script system for OpsWorks, I am not sure if it runs OK when deploy as a standalone script. Hope it can help

Going through the stacktrace again I noticed that the cookbook directory is called kafka-cookbook rather than kafka, which will load the LWRPs with a difference name, as can be seen in the stacktrace:

This explains the error's that you're seeing. Though I believe that you'll see other error's if you fix the cookbook directory name, due to the usage of "template helper modules" (see https://tickets.opscode.com/browse/CHEF-4220) in this cookbook.

It should however work with Chef 11.6 and above.

from kafka.

Btw, the customised cookbook that you uploaded doesn't look like it's based off of this one at all, but more like it's based on the Webtrends one?

from kafka.

@copester: if you get any chance to try this in OpsWorks (with a Chef version > 11.4) that would be much appreciated.

from kafka.

Gonna close this because I don't think that this is a problem with this cookbook. If anyone else is having issues with OpsWorks (and a version of Chef that is actually supported), please open a new issue and we'll take it from there.
