Trouble with the bump subcommand

[jmreicha]

I'm having trouble getting the knife spork bump command to work on a local cookbook.

Is there an example somewhere for how to use this correctly?

[jonlives]

@jmreicha the examples in the README (https://github.com/jonlives/knife-spork#spork-bump) show all of the permutations - can you elaborate a little more on exactly what issues you're having please?

[jmreicha]

Hmm, I must be missing something. For example, if I run (from the cookbook directory I'm working on)

knife spork bump my-cookbook

I get the following:

ERROR: TypeError: no implicit conversion of nil into String

Thanks for the prompt response.

@jmreicha I'd hazard a guess that it's not finding your cookbook where it expects to. Could you please let me know what versions of Ruby / Chef / knife-spork you're using and gist the output of "knife spork info" please?

[jmreicha]

Sure, no problem.

ruby -v
ruby 2.0.0p451 (2014-02-24 revision 45167) [universal.x86_64-darwin13]

chef -v
Chef Development Kit Version: 0.2.1

chef-client -v
Chef: 11.14.6

gem list | grep spork
knife-spork (1.4.1, 1.3.2)

knife spork gist - https://gist.github.com/jmreicha/79586aa9057394dfee70

Interestingly enough, I tried running knife spork on Ubuntu and got a different result.

[jmreicha]

@jonlives Just a quick update. From my Ubuntu machine (inside the cookbook directory I'm working on):

$ knife spork bump me-test-cookbook
ERROR: Berkshelf::BerksfileNotFound: Berkshelf::BerksfileNotFound

My Berksfile looks like this:

$ cat Berksfile
source "https://api.berkshelf.com"

metadata

$ berks -v
3.1.5

$ ruby -v
ruby 1.9.3p484 (2013-11-22 revision 43786) [i686-linux]

No ChefDK installed.

I face the exact same issue when trying to bump the version. Tried several options with the cookbook path, but each time the same error: ERROR: TypeError: no implicit conversion of nil into String

@dpnl87 could you run knife with the -VV option and paste the stack trace it gave you please?

[PaulusTM]

@jonlives I've Gist it: https://gist.github.com/dpnl87/56b1cac983365a3fe1ad

[jonlives]

@dpnl87 brilliant thanks - I'll get this fixed and out in the next release, this month hopefully.

[jonlives]

@dpnl87 or @jmreicha I'm trying to get my info straight to replicate this. Could you please confirm / deny the following?

• ERROR: TypeError: no implicit conversion of nil into String occurs with berkshelf installed?
• ERROR: Berkshelf::BerksfileNotFound: Berkshelf::BerksfileNotFound also occurs with berkshelf installed?

[PaulusTM]

@jonlives I get ERROR: TypeError: no implicit conversion of nil into String with berkshelf installed

[jonlives]

@dpnl87 thanks for clarifying - I'll look into this.

[jonlives]

@jmreicha would you be able to gist the verbose output when you get the ERROR: Berkshelf::BerksfileNotFound: Berkshelf::BerksfileNotFound error please? I need to locate exactly where that's occurring in the code.

[jonlives]

Bumping this from "1.5.0" to "Next Release" milestone

[jonlives]

@jmreicha any possibility you could post the above requested output please? Would like to get a fix for this out in next version if possible.

[jmreicha]

@jonlives I haven't looked at this in a looooong time.

I'll see if I can still get it to error but I may not be the best tester at this point.

[jonlives]

@jmreicha no worries!
