Why doesn't my custom recipes run on AWS OpsWorks?

I've created a GitHub repo for my simple custom recipe:

my-cookbook/
|- recipes/
   |- appsetup.rb

I've added the repo to Custom Chef Recipes as https://github.com/my-github-user/my-github-repo.git

I've added my-cookbook::appsetup to the Setup "cycle".

I know it's executed, because it fails to load if I mess up the syntax.

This is my appsetup.rb:

node[:deploy].each do |app_name, deploy|
  script "install_composer" do
    interpreter "bash"
    user "root"
    cwd "#{deploy[:deploy_to]}/current"
    code "curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php && php composer.phar install --no-dev"
  end
end

When I log into the instance by SSH with the ubuntu user, composer isn't installed.

I've also tried the following to no avail (A nodejs install):

node[:deploy].each do |app_name, deploy|
  execute "installing node" do
    command "add-apt-repository --yes ppa:chris-lea/node.js && apt-get update && sudo apt-get install python-software-properties python g++ make nodejs"
  end
end

Node doesn't get installed, and there are no errors in the log. The only references to the cookbook in the log just says:

[2014-03-31T13:26:05+00:00] DEBUG: Found recipe appsetup in cookbook my-cookbook

Am I missing some critical step somewhere? The recipe is clearly recognized and loaded, but doesn't seem to be executed.

(The following are fictitious names: my-github-user, my-github-repo, my-cookbook)

I know you've abandoned the cookbook but I'm almost 100% sure it's because you don't have a metadata.rb file in the root of your cookbook.

Your cookbook name should not contain a dash. I had the same problem, replacing by '_' solved it for me.

If you do not execute your command successfully, you will not find the files in the current directory. Check inside the last release folder to see if it had been put there.

It maybe prudent to check if you got the right directory etc setup by changing the CWD to : /tmp
