change default ruby_path to /opt/vagrant_ruby/bin/chef-solo if use vagrant

[leomao10]

Hi @fnichol,

I am currently trying vagrant with chef.

This is my Vagrantfile:

Vagrant::Config.run do |config|
  # All Vagrant configuration is done here. The most common configuration
  # options are documented and commented below. For a complete reference,
  # please see the online documentation at vagrantup.com.

  # Every Vagrant virtual environment requires a box to build off of.
  config.vm.box = "sandbox"

  # The url from where the 'config.vm.box' box will be fetched if it
  # doesn't already exist on the user's system.
  config.vm.box_url = "http://files.vagrantup.com/precise64.box"
    config.vm.provision :chef_solo do |chef|
    chef.add_recipe "apt"
    chef.add_recipe "postgresql::client"
    chef.add_recipe "rvm::vagrant"
    chef.add_recipe "rvm::system"
  end
end

After I go vagrant up, I could not use chef-solo anymore. After couple hours google, I found that I actually need to add this code :

chef.json = {
      'rvm' => {
        'vagrant' => {
          'system_chef_solo' => '/opt/vagrant_ruby/bin/chef-solo'
        }
      }
    }

And it works fine now. But since vagrant is using /opt/vagrant_ruby/bin as default ruby_path, do you think it is better to use this path if I add recipe rvm::vagrant?

BTW, Nice work for the chef-rvm, really like it :)

[leonid-shevtsov]

Seconded.

A more robust solution is to determine the path to the current chef-solo executable when installing RVM, and symlink that.

[kouno]

+1. My google researches actually brought me here.

[hgilani]

+1, faced the same issue and fix suggested in issue description worked. Could this be a default attribute if rvm::vagrant recipe is used?

[brandonparsons]

Wow. Gotta love google and Github. There's always people experiencing the same pain as me :)

[fnichol]

Right on, thank you everyone, #134 should resolve this. I'll cut a release of the cookbook shortly.

Where do I put the chef.json file? On the host system? In the VM? Somewhere on the shared directory?

The chef.json is a configuration inside the Vagrantfile, something along this lines:

config.vm.box_url = "http://files.vagrantup.com/precise64.box"
    config.vm.provision :chef_solo do |chef|
    chef.add_recipe "apt"
    chef.add_recipe "postgresql::client"
    chef.add_recipe "rvm::vagrant"
    chef.add_recipe "rvm::system"

    chef.json = {
      'rvm' => {
        'vagrant' => {
          'system_chef_solo' => '/opt/vagrant_ruby/bin/chef-solo'
        }
      }
    }
  end

[volkanunsal]

That worked. Thanks!

Hi!
I am working on a Chef-Rails-Stack with Berkshelf, and I am seeing the same issue as discussed in this issue. My project is at https://github.com/mulderp/chef-rails-stack - and I am not seeing yet, what's wrong. Maybe someone of you sees where rvm is going wrong?

[mulderp]

Ok, just in case, the problem is related to using the sudo cookbook together with:

http://community.opscode.com/cookbooks/sudo

When running the sudo cookbook, rvm/rbenv are in trouble in the second conversion.

[mdpatrick]

@mulderp Check the diff of that pull request. That solution worked for me.

[mulderp]

Interesting, thanks for the notice

@fnichol I just run into this using chef-rvm 0.9.2

in recipe:

include_recipe 'rvm::user'
include_recipe 'rvm::vagrant'

in attributes.rb

node.override['rvm']['user_installs'] = [
  { 'user'          => 'vagrant',
    'default_ruby'  => 'jruby-1.7.11',
    'rubies'        => ['jruby-1.7.11'],
    'global_gems'   => [
      { 'name'    => 'bundler' },
      { 'name'    => 'rake' }
    ],
    'rvmrc' => { "rvm_autolibs_flag" => "disabled" }
  }
]

With above test-kitchen was always failing during second converge. When I added into my recipe code from @mdpatrick - https://github.com/fnichol/chef-rvm/pull/241/files - it works fine again.

So apparently rvm is still messing something with PATH.

[kowal]

@fnichol can we reopen this?

[ChrisPetr0]

Thanks, I had the same problem, the code in the link above (https://github.com/fnichol/chef-rvm/pull/241/files) works for me.
