Read your logs, chef is kind enough to mark the problematic line (emphasis is mine):

54.153.93.47 NameError

54.153.93.47 ---------

54.153.93.47 No resource, method, or local variable named `chef' for `Chef::Recipe "database"'

[ .... ] Stripped a part to shorten

54.153.93.47 14:

54.153.93.47 15**>>** password_secret = chef::EncryptedDataBagItem.load_secret(node['awesome_customers']['passwords']['secret_path'])

54.153.93.47 16: root_password_data_bag_item = Chef::EncryptedDataBagItem.load('passwords', 'sql_server_root_password', password_secret)

54.153.93.47 17:

You just have a typo of a lowercase c for Chef:: in your password_secret line

  • Indeed once modified you have to upload the new version on the chef-server.... This mean you have to bump the version in metadata.rb or force the upload – Tensibai Sep 29 '15 at 06:48
