Chef: archive_file fails with uninitialized constant Chef::Resource::ArchiveFile::Archive since 15.9.17

[hammerhead]

Description

Unpacking an archive using archive_file fails with NameError: uninitialized constant Chef::Resource::ArchiveFile::Archive.

Chef Version

15.9.17. Also reproducible in 16.0.216. Not reproducible in 15.8.23.

Platform Version

platform=ubuntu
platform_version=18.04

Replication Case

Create a recipe:

user 'my_service' do
  home '/opt/my_service'
  shell '/bin/bash'
  system true
  manage_home true
  action :create
end

group 'my_service' do
  members 'my_service'
  system true
  append true
  action :create
end

archive_file '/home/ubuntu/archive.zip' do
  destination '/opt/my_service'
  owner 'my_service'
  group 'my_service'
end

archive.zip is attached.

Run the recipe with chef-solo -c solo.rb -o 'recipe[demo]' (solo.rb contains only cookbook_path '/home/ubuntu/cookbooks') .

Also hitting this bug

Fun story I did require "ffi-libarchive" unless defined?(Archive) in my recipe in an attempt to work around this, and surprisingly got:

Unrecognized archive format

[tas50]

I need to shuffle the requires around a bit to make this one work. It was breaking our specs if I added the require to the base of the resource. Fix incoming.

https://github.com/chef-boneyard/libarchive/issues/44 is kinda related 🤞

[tas50]

This is something I wrote on my whiteboard for after Chef 16 / Workstation 20.6 / ChefDk 4.8 was done. Give me some time to clean this up.

[tas50]

@hammerhead This should be fixed with https://github.com/chef/chef/pull/9951

[hammerhead]

Awesome, thank you @tas50!
