I am a little new to chef and have been thorugh the tutorials, but I am starting to think I am not the one at fault:

I am trying to install Java on CentOS 7.2. it fails to install (apparently) - But extracts the tarball in the correct location, but adds a wildly inaccurate (I think) symlink and doesn't set the mode correctly.

Here is my LWRP:

#
# Cookbook Name:: install_java
# Recipe:: default
#
# Copyright (c) 2016 The Authors, All Rights Reserved.

# Used to define which OS to install and thus, which installer to use
op_sys = node['os']

# Used to get the required java update from the environment file
java_ver_update = node['java_ver']

# Logic for each OS
if op_sys == 'linux'
# Java_ark, which is used to define the correct install attributes for each OS type (win/linux)
  java_ark "jdk" do
    url 'http://sv-dc01.sv.local/install_artifacts/java/oracle/JRE/jre-'+"#{java_ver_update}"+'-linux-x64.tar.gz'
    app_home '/applications/JAVA/SomePath'
    owner 'root'
    group 'wheel'
    app_home_mode 774
    bin_cmds ['java', 'javaws', 'jcontrol', 'jjs', 'keytool', 'orbd', 'pack200', 'policytool', 'rmid', 'rmiregistry', 'servertool', 'tnameserv', 'unpack200']
    action :install
  end
# Same again but the logic for winows install
elsif op_sys == 'windows'
  java_ark "jdk" do
    url 'http://sv-dc01.sv.local/install_artifacts/java/oracle/JRE/jre-'+"#{java_ver_update}"+'-windows-x64.tar.gz'
    action :install
  end
end

include_recipe 'java'

Now, I have also defined some of the defaults in the environment file

name 'env_workstation'
description "Environment Workstation Dubbo"
cookbook_versions({
    "ohai" => "> 0.0.1",
    "java" => "> 0.1.0",
    "install_java" => "> 0.0.1"
})

$environment = Hash.new{|h,k| h[k]=Hash.new(&h.default_proc) }
$override = Hash.new{|h,k| h[k]=Hash.new(&h.default_proc) }

$override['java']['jdk_version'] = '8'
$override['java']['install_flavor'] = 'oracle'
$override['java_ver'] = '8u77'


default_attributes(Chef::Mixin::DeepMerge.merge($_default_environment, $environment))
override_attributes($override)

But the run fails even though the tarball is extracted to the correct location, but I then also end up with a symlink in a weird location named after the final folder of my java_ark '/applications/JAVA' (so JAVA).

Here is the run failure:

As your FATAL log message indicates

FATAL: You must set the attribute node['java']['oracle']['accept_oracle_download_terms'] to true if you want to download directly from the oracle site!

You must accept Oracle's Java SE Archive License. To actively indicate you do so add,

$override['java']['jdk_version'] = '8'
$override['java']['install_flavor'] = 'oracle'
$override['java_ver'] = '8u77'
$override['java']['oracle']['accept_oracle_download_terms'] = true

You might also consider updating to a more recent version of Java (like 8u111).

    Dollar signs before `override`? – StephenKing Dec 06 '16 at 05:08
  • That is in my environment file to create an array of override settings and as such means that the way it is written is similar to how I would write them within the 'role' file. it works :D – Sean Vucich Dec 06 '16 at 20:17
  • Thank you - Now the install is working - But the only issue is that Java is put within "/applications/JAVA/jre_8u77" folder (Which is a folder down from the 'app_home' as per the recipe file, where is should be ''/applications/JAVA/SomePath") and creates a symlink to the JRE folder at the same level. What I actually want is Java deployed to the '/applications/JAVA/SomePath' without the symlink. What am I missing there? – Sean Vucich Dec 06 '16 at 20:22
  • So, the install is not getting the install path correct and is adding a symlink where? This is incorrect `[sysadmin@node1 ~]$ ls -lh /applications/ total 8.0K lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root wheel 25 Dec 7 09:36 JAVA -> /applications/jre1.8.0_77 drwxrwxr--. 6 root wheel 4.0K Mar 21 2016 jre1.8.0_77 ` – Sean Vucich Dec 06 '16 at 20:58
