rajeshkumar created the topic: ERROR: Could not find cookbook cookbooks_test in your cookbook path, sk<\/strong><\/p>\n

Error while uploading the cookbooks….
\n[code language=”css”]
\n> knife cookbook upload cookbooks_test
\nERROR: Could not find cookbook cookbooks_test in your cookbook path, skipping it
\nERROR: Failed to upload 1 cookbook.
\n[\/code]<\/p>\n

Solution:<\/p>\n

You can pass path of the cookbooks via commend line using…
\n[code language=”css”]
\nknife cookbook upload cookbooks_test -o \/path\/to\/cookbook
\n[\/code]<\/p>\n

Also, you can set the path in .chef\/knife.rb. If .chef\/knife.rb is missing, you can following commands…
\n[code language=”css”]
\nknife configure –initial
\n[\/code]<\/p>\n

But if you install the startter kit from manage.chef.io, you just need to replace all the files including .knife.rb<\/p>\n

if you cookbooks files many places then you can set your .knife.rb like as below;
\n[code language=”css”]
\ncookbook_path [ ‘.’, ‘..’, ‘.\/cookbooks’, ‘~\/git\/chef’ ]
\n[\/code]<\/p>\n

If you are still getting this error, make sure the metadata.rb has same name which you using to upload the cookbooks.
