Chef::Handler::ErrorReport raised #<JSON::NestingError: nesting of 1000 is too deep> Hello everyone, I came across an JSON error “JSON::NestingError: nesting of 1000 is too deep” when executing ‘sudo chef-client’ to setup a ubuntu-10-04-server-i386 machine as a hadoop name node. I ran cluster_chef on the my chef workstation node to launch and bootstrap the ubuntu node, then get the same error log reported when executing ‘sudo chef-client’ on the node it self. For debugging, I only add 2 “recipes [recipe[cluster_chef::dedicated_server_tuning], recipe[hadoop_cluster::namenode]] ” for the node. Did anyone encounter this kind of issue and give some tips?

First run attributes on chef-client 11 for windows Hi, I have some troubles importing attributes at first run with chef-clietn 11 for windows. I have a json file “c:/chef/first-boot.json” with similar content {“company”:{“company_name”:“My Company”},“run_list”:[“role[server_role]”]} I start the client with this line chef-client -c c:/chef/client.rb -j c:/chef/first-boot.json I have a role, which is applied correctly and all recipes for that role are started to compile and run. However, if I want to use the “company” attribute at the first run, the attribute is missing (for example node[:company][:company_name] gives me “NoMethodError”, because node[:company] do not exist). If I do not use this attribute (i.e. all recipes pass trough the first run), the attribute node[:company] appears in the chef server and I can use it on the next run. This method for first run attributes works well on linux chef-client. There I’m able to use the node[:company] attribute on the first run without any problems. Am I doing something wrong or there is some limitation for chef-client for windows? Here is my log from the console chef-client -c c:/chef/client.rb -j c:/chef/first-boot.json -E dev INFO: *Chef 11.4.0* INFO: Client key c:/chef/client.pem is not present – registering INFO: Setting the run_list to [“role[server_role]”] from JSON INFO: Run List is [role[server_role]] INFO: Run List expands to [testbook::compnay_set] INFO: Starting Chef Run for node01 INFO: Running start handlers INFO: Start handlers complete.

Chef::Handler::ErrorReport raised #<JSON::NestingError: nesting of 1000 is too deep>

Hello everyone, I came across an JSON error “JSON::NestingError: nesting of 1000 is too deep” when executing ‘sudo chef-client’ to setup a ubuntu-10-04-server-i386 machine as a hadoop name node. I ran cluster_chef on the my chef workstation node to launch and bootstrap the ubuntu node, then get the same error log reported when executing ‘sudo chef-client’ on the node it self. For debugging, I only add 2 “recipes [recipe[cluster_chef::dedicated_server_tuning], recipe[hadoop_cluster::namenode]] ” for the node.

Did anyone encounter this kind of issue and give some tips? Thanks in advance!!

First run attributes on chef-client 11 for windows

Hi,

I have some troubles importing attributes at first run with chef-clietn 11 for windows. I have a json file “c:/chef/first-boot.json” with similar content

{“company”:{“company_name”:“My Company”},“run_list”:[“role[server_role]”]}

I start the client with this line

chef-client -c c:/chef/client.rb -j c:/chef/first-boot.json

I have a role, which is applied correctly and all recipes for that role are started to compile and run. However, if I want to use the “company” attribute at the first run, the attribute is missing (for example node[:company][:company_name] gives me “NoMethodError”, because node[:company] do not exist). If I do not use this attribute (i.e. all recipes pass trough the first run), the attribute node[:company] appears in the chef server and I can use it on the next run.

This method for first run attributes works well on linux chef-client. There I’m able to use the node[:company] attribute on the first run without any problems.

Am I doing something wrong or there is some limitation for chef-client for windows?

Here is my log from the console

chef-client -c c:/chef/client.rb -j c:/chef/first-boot.json -E dev INFO: Chef 11.4.0 INFO: Client key c:/chef/client.pem is not present – registering INFO: Setting the run_list to [“role[server_role]”] from JSON INFO: Run List is [role[server_role]] INFO: Run List expands to [testbook::compnay_set] INFO: Starting Chef Run for node01 INFO: Running start handlers INFO: Start handlers complete.
