Addons that require 'accept_license' passed in chef_ingredient call fail on reconfigure about chef-server HOT 7 CLOSED

My fix is to simply add accept_license to the addons.rb recipe and add a accept_license attribute. Not sure if this falls under Obvious Fix policy, but in the absence of more concise addons configuration in a different issue, this fixes things.

I have PR #121 open on this... but i think i have to modify the tests...

+1. I'm hitting this, too. Started today.

STDOUT: To use this software, you must agree to the terms of the software license agreement.
Please view and accept the software license agreement, or pass --accept-license.

Guys, this is so frustrating. The entire purpose of Chef is to create environments that are automatic, fluid, and controlled. Adding a step where an argument has to be passed to accept a license without having some mechanism to automate it goes completely contrary to that and has completely horked a bunch of demos I was doing to try to sell this tech internally.

Until the cookbook handles this properly, set the ['chef-server']['version'] attribute to 12.4.1-1 to go back to a version that doesn't require the license acceptance and use chef-server cookbook version 4.1.0.

EDIT: Actually, that didn't fix it. I'm still hunting for a version that works. Will update this comment when I find one.

EDIT: It looks like regardless of what you lock the version to for the package, the latest chef gems are installed, which means there's no version you can choose that will work.

EDIT: Confirmed. The only way to fix this (other than editing the cookbook) is to log into the chef server and run $ sudo chef-manage-ctl reconfigure --accept-license.

@ChadScott and @mengesb,

Thanks so much for bringing up the issue. We're working to get this cookbook updated asap. Additionally @mengesb thanks for working to add a fix for this issue!

This should be fixed in version 5.0.1 of this cookbook. Please let me know if it is still having problems for you. Please make sure to explicitly set the accept_license attribute value to true to express accepting the Chef MLSA.
