Chef Cookbook Compilation Error While Bootstrapping The Node

I am using chef to bootstrap a node. I have created encrypted data bags and copied the secret key on the node as /etc/chef/encrypted_data_bag_secret.

When I try to bootstrap the node, I am getting the following error:

I have resolved this issue. It appears that the environment was not created properly. So when I was bootstrapping the node, its environment was being set to "_default", hence the node was unable to locate the items.

I recreated the environment, and bootstrapped node by passing --environment parameter, and I was able to bootstrap without any issues.

Once again, thanks to all the contributors for their inputs. This community is awesome!

Try adding the following line to your recipe:

  11. CHEF_ENV = node.chef_environment
+ 12. Chef::Config[:encrypted_data_bag_secret]
  13. http_ssl_creds = Chef::EncryptedDataBagItem.load("#{CHEF_ENV}", "http-ssl")
  14. PRIVATE_KEY = http_ssl_creds['private_key']
  15. CHAIN_FILE= http_ssl_creds['chain_file']
  16. CERT= http_ssl_creds['cert']

Another thing to check is that the node environment is the name of your encrypted data bag.

since you 've copied the /etc/chef/encrypted_data_bag_secret to the node, that should do the trick.
