Incorrect permissions when running gem_package 'jruby-openssl'

[tominated]

I'm writing a wrapper cookbook for my web app (using berkshelf and vagrant—if it makes a difference), and when I run vagrant provision, chef-solo fails when trying to install jruby-openssl. I'm not sure what user chef-solo runs the command as, but as the torquebox folder belongs to the torquebox user & group, I'm assuming it needs to be that.

Here's the last bit of the error:

[2014-02-20T10:43:07+00:00] ERROR: gem_package[jruby-openssl] (torquebox::server line 85) had an error: Mixlib::ShellOut::ShellCommandFailed: Expected process to exit with [0], but received '137'

It might be a case of just moving the gem install resource above the installation folder chown resource. Any help would be great

OK, I seem to have fixed the issue by replacing the gem_package resource with this:

execute "install jruby-openssl" do
  command "#{current}/jruby/bin/jgem install jruby-openssl -q --no-document"
  user "torquebox"
  returns [0, '0', '', nil]
end

I'll clean it up a bit and submit a pull request

Great - thanks for tracking that down!
