ERROR new to chef

Question

New to Chef, bare wi/ me. Building my cookbook.

Answer 1

How did you set the databag?

are you able to get the credential out using :

$ knife vault show nameOfVault nameOfItem

or

$ knife data bag show nameOfVault nameOfItem_keys

Answer 2

Glad you have your data bag loading and indeed, with Test Kitchen you do not need to use knife to upload to Chef Server, as Test Kitchen uses Chef Zero / Solo.

The issue you have here is that you have not correctly formatted reading from the data bag object once you have read. You need to do this instead:

ruby_block "insert_line" do
  block do
    file = Chef::Util::FileEdit.new('/var/lib/net-snmp/snmpd.conf')
    file.insert_line_if_no_match("/www.example.com/", "createUser 
       #{snmp3usercreds['user']} 
       SHA #{snmp3usercreds['auth_pssword']} 
       AES #{snmp3usercreds['enc_password']} ")
    file.write_file
  end
end

So, you will see I have changed snmp3usercreds[user] to snmp3usercreds['user'] with quotes around the user to show it is a string (rather than a variable as is the case with your code).
