[jira] [Commented] (JCLOUDS-245) Review HostedChef api changes to make live tests pass again

["Ignasi Barrera (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCLOUDS-245?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13745949#comment-13745949 ] 

Ignasi Barrera commented on JCLOUDS-245:
----------------------------------------

It seems that the HEAD methods have been removed from the Chef Server api [1].

Started fixing it in a WIP branch [2] and it seems that after removing the HEAD methods there are only two live tests failing. The same live tests are failing against Enterprise Chef and against Chef Server 11 (our last supported version, Chef Server 10, is passing all live tests). Hopefully when these two live tests are passing again we can say we support Chef 11 too.

> Hosted Chef API seems to have changed a bit, and now there are several methods that don't allow the HEAD verb. Using the version header has also no effect, so there is no way to force the old behavior (even when the API docs say it is possible).
> A general review of the api and live tests should be performed, taking special care of:
> * The problematic HEAD methods should be refactored to perform a GET operation.
> * The cookbook parsing and construction should be also reviewed as some fields have become mandatory in the latest version.
