Error, directory missing when running test.yml about postgresql HOT 9 CLOSED

I have the same problem. Thought it was just me doing something wrong.

from postgresql.

The issue created by locales sent via ssh connection.
On your host comment out SendEnv LANG LC_* in /etc/ssh/ssh_config
or
on the guest machine add

export LANG=en_US
export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8

in /etc/bash.bashrc to apply this rule to all users.

Can't reproduce this on my system (OSX with iTerm)

Is this still a problem?

Also unable to reproduce on lubuntu with LXTerminal .. though I do remember having to add this line in to get travis builds working .. though if its to do with values sent in the SSH connection its probably unrelated.. @hrstoyanov seems to have a way to reproduce using docker in #108 .. but not yet had time to try and reproduce..

@farridav, see this
sous-chefs/postgresql#108

Problem is caused by locale settings (PostgreSQL initdb cannot init cluster because of locale settings misconfiguration or locales were set within same ssh session and weren't reloaded). Once you set proper LANG variable, recipe will work with no problem. You can do it by putting line like this just before including postgresql::server recipe :

cool @hrstoyanov will read now

@farridav,
When you check out this Chef thread: sous-chefs/postgresql#147
it sounds like Derbian apt Postgres cluster installation fails when the locales are not set up in some strange way. Seems like corner cases error in the apt perl script. This is why it is hard to reproduce, but with the Docker file you should see the issue easily. Also, notice that SSH can override some env variables.

Is there any way to skip the cluster configuration with this role? I do not need it anyway and it is causing the issue.

Thanks.

set your host's locales for example to Hebrew-Israel he_IL.UTF-8, then try to reproduce the issue. This happens also with other locales, but I don't have any specific list. The host's ssh client sends locales to the guest machine, so the guest machine will be configured to the same locale. But for some reason guest machine is not aware or doesn't support some unique locales and it raises that error.
