ubuntu creates invalid apt about apt HOT 5 CLOSED

😳 This works

apt_repository 'sbt' do
  uri 'https://dl.bintray.com/sbt/debian'
  key '642AC823'
  components ['/']
  keyserver 'keyserver.ubuntu.com'
  action :add
end

from apt.

But how to make something like this work

apt_repository "elasticsearch-#{esversion}" do
  uri "http://packages.elastic.co/elasticsearch/#{esversion}/debian"
  components ['stable','main']
  key 'https://packages.elastic.co/GPG-KEY-elasticsearch'
  action :add
end

I still get quotes around the uri.

Moreover I get 'trusty'(without quotes) after the uri.

The desired result is
deb http://packages.elastic.co/elasticsearch/1.7/debian stable main

what I get is
deb "http://packages.elastic.co/elasticsearch/1.7/debian" trusty stable main

from apt.

@nabarunchatterjee stable is not a component. you don't have a distribution specified => current distribution name. Quotes are irrelevant.

Also: man sources.list, read https://github.com/chef-cookbooks/apt#readme

from apt.

Quotes definitely matter because removing them fixes the problem for me just as it fixed it for the original reporter.

@nabarunchatterjee you should check out the official Elasticsearch cookbook. It installs the repo like this:

apt_repository 'elastic-5.x' do
  uri 'https://artifacts.elastic.co/packages/5.x/apt'
  components ['main']
  distribution 'stable'
  action :nothing # :create, :delete
end

So what @rmoriz said is correct: stable is not component. its a distribution.
