#chef

hey all

i have a problem with berkshelf in the chef devkti installation

it seems to ignore my settings in the knife.rb which sets the client key to my host machine name, rather than the organisation i'm setting on the fly there.

is there any default location chefdk berkshelf is taking configs from?

okay, apparently it expects .berkshelf/config.json in the home dir of the user, but now i get an error about invalid ruby syntax in the cookbooks

that seems like an environment setup problem

anybody has an idea how this can be tackled?

hm, it seems like the embedded ruby cannot found? is that a possibility?

or is not used, rather

whysthatso: i managed to kill ruby embedded by installing system ruby

and that completely killed chef-client on me

lol, yeah

i'm actually quite happy with my rbenv-steered environment

i don't use the distro-packaged ruby

but the error message seems to point to berkshelf trying to use the rbenv-controlled ruby version

is there any place to configure that? config.json of berkshelf maybe?

i thought the dev kit will finally get rid of all those environment implications

mine broke when i used RVM

mistake..

i just got 'ruby command not found'

switched back to the distro ruby no issues

sorry i don't know enough about berks and the rest yet to be much help

i only learned berks/kitchen a week ago
