berks upload fails with "Invalid element in array value of 'files'." #706

Enalmada · 2013-06-27T19:12:26Z

On Mac, berks upload has been uploading fine. Made a small change to recipe text, added changeglog line, and incremented metadata version...now berks upload fails. Using berkshelf 2.0.5, did bundle update, ruby 1.9.3p429, knife upload works fine, strainer tests with recommended foodcritic rules all return success. Any thoughts on what that error might mean?

@Enalmada sent me the full stack trace, and I was able to parse out this bit:

>> body['files']
[
    [0] {
               "name" => ".DS_Store",
               "path" => "files/.DS_Store",
           "checksum" => "016a9e9eb9105e86d89e944b65fdc7cf",
        "specificity" => nil
    },
    [1] {
               "name" => "deploy.py",
               "path" => "files/default/deploy.py",
           "checksum" => "b71ab2dcbfbed4becf8ecbd331391355",
        "specificity" => "default"
    }
]

I believe this is caused by #587.

The .DS_Store has no specificity, so the Chef Server is throwing a fit.

ivey · 2013-06-27T20:15:50Z

I suspect the root cause is that Ridley is not properly handling chefignore

Enalmada · 2013-06-27T20:36:47Z

Good catch on the .DS_Store file. Yes, after removing that file it works. Oh finder. I am closing this with the assumption that it is a dupe and #587 will fix. Hopefully this ticket will help anyone googling the error to find deleting that file as a workaround.

paulboone · 2013-07-17T19:03:33Z

Also throws the error for "Invalid element in array value of 'templates'". Just adding this for future searchers.

mannytoledo · 2013-08-28T19:23:08Z

Also leaving a note for future searchers. To clear out your chef repo and cookbooks of '.DS_Store' files run this command and it will delete all .DS_Store files recursively.

find . -name '*.DS_Store' -type f -delete

trinitronx · 2013-11-05T22:34:06Z

A similar error is returned when a cookbook when an erb file is incorrectly placed in the templates folder (ie: my-cookbook/templates/example.erb). Removing this file fixed the problem.

(for googlers...)

Returned error was: Ridley::Errors::HTTPBadRequest: {"error":["Invalid element in array value of 'templates'."]}

There was an error connecting to the Chef Server

JC1738 · 2014-02-05T23:17:53Z

Had the same problem with invalid element in array of files. This fixed it:

find . -name '*.DS_Store' -type f -delete

Glad found this issue/page.

ichilton · 2014-04-10T09:48:22Z

I'm also getting this problem with Berkshelf 2.0.14 if I have .keep or .gitkeep files to make sure certain directories in my cookbook are added to version control if they are empty.

reset · 2014-04-10T15:08:10Z

This has been fixed on the master branch. A new version of Berkshelf will be released in the next week or so.

dmorrison · 2014-05-01T20:13:30Z

Just got the same error with Berkshelf 3.1.1. Stack trace here.

Fixed by doing find . -name '*.DS_Store' -type f -delete like @JC1738 did.

patkaehuaea · 2014-06-02T20:11:41Z

Same problem on 3.1.1. Same resolution as @dmorrison.

darron · 2014-06-06T19:19:07Z

I was having this problem today until I removed the .berkshelf/cookbooks/ directory and let the entire cookbook resolution happen from scratch.

sethvargo · 2014-06-10T23:55:38Z

@reset why reopen this?

reset · 2014-06-10T23:59:11Z

@sethvargo couldn't find proper documentation that this is actually fixed on master

jjdevbiz · 2014-06-25T00:22:50Z

I'm having the same issue, neither previously mentioned resolution of removing .berkshelf/cookbooks or find . -name '*.DS_Store' -type f -delete is working for me.

jjdevbiz · 2014-06-25T00:31:13Z

I was using 3.1.1 from chefdk. Tried 3.1.3 from gem install and same issue.

micxer · 2014-06-28T16:15:41Z

Just had the same issue with 3.1.1 from chefdk. Only removing all cookbooks from ~/.berkshelf/cookbooks resolved it.

Sauraus · 2014-08-11T22:47:17Z

find . -name '*.DS_Store' -type f -delete worked for me with chefdk.

reset · 2014-08-11T22:50:10Z

@micxer @jjdevbiz @Sauraus do you have .DS_Store in the cookbook's chefignore file?

benjohnson77 · 2014-09-18T05:15:35Z

thanks for find . -name '*.DS_Store' -type f -delete

kameshsampath · 2014-09-29T16:29:21Z

Thanks all find . -name '*.DS_Store' -type f -delete worked for me and is there anyother way, i doubt we could have that ignored or something, i have it in my chefignore and.gitignore as well

sethvargo · 2014-10-25T02:10:40Z

I've moved this issue to Ridley (since that's the actual uploader)

danieljimenez · 2015-02-28T00:05:42Z

find . -name '*.DS_Store' -type f -delete worked for me as well.

florianb · 2015-03-16T17:12:38Z

Unfortunately this problem was not solved for me (berks version 3.2.3) and it also had nothing to do with any .DS_Store-files.

My error was caused by having files placed directly in the files/template-folder.

I was able to solve the problem by moving the designated files into an additional subdirectory:

Wrong

files/
└── distribute.sh

lead to:
E, [2015-03-16T17:57:59.138178 #71706] ERROR -- : Ridley::Errors::HTTPBadRequest: {"error":["Invalid element in array value of 'files'."]}

Right

files/
└── postgres
    └── distribute.sh

rudymccomb · 2015-04-09T01:12:30Z

happened to me too solution was

find . -name '*.DS_Store' -type f -delete

jasonwbarnett · 2015-05-18T16:59:10Z

I just thought that I would share that this happened to me recently and I was able to resolve it by recursively removing all of the .keep files in the cookbook. e.g.

find . -name '.keep' -delete

gigo6000 · 2015-12-02T12:08:03Z

Thanks @florianb that was my problem not any .DS_Store files.
