Chef: grafana community recipe error

Question

I'm using the following recipe from chef supermarket: https://supermarket.chef.io/cookbooks/grafana

When I try to execute the following code it crashes:

grafana_user 'lechucico' do
  user(
    name: 'lechucico',
    email: 'lechucico@example.com',
    password: 'lechu',
    isAdmin: true,
    organizations: [
      { name: 'Administration', role: 'Admin' },
      { name: 'Marketing', role: 'Admin' }
    ]
  )
  action :create
end

This error raises:

Why this isn't working?

Answer 1

That's due to the fact that despite the pull request has been merged into master, there was no release of the code within master to supermarket.

According to the comments on this issue the ownership of the cookbook is likely to move to the sous-chef group.

If you rely on this latest code, you should download it from git, change its version and push to your chef-server.

You may wish to join Slack #sous-chefs channel on http://community-slack.chef.io/ for more information on the takeover process.
