Redhat is no longer a valid platform at https://download.docker.com/linux/

[ChrisG1971]

Cookbook version

4.8.0

Chef-client version

chef_version=13.6.4

Platform Details

RHEL7 running on AWS

Scenario:

Trying to install Docker

Steps to Reproduce:

Wrapper cookbook which I've tried both the Docker_installation_package and Docker Service. Neither of these options are passing platform_version properly. Looking closer at the installation_package option the URL path pulls the platform value which would be redhat. The URL . https://download.docker.com/linux/ does not contain redhat. Cookbook metadata states it supports redhat. If this is no longer the case please update the metadata.

Expected Result:

docker_Service shows that it allows a package_version to be passed, however this property does not appear to work for redhat.
docker_Installation_package is not working due to the issue with the URL path no longer containing redhat.

Actual Result:

   * yum_package[docker-ce] action install[2018-12-11T02:54:46+00:00] INFO: Processing yum_package[docker-ce] action install (/var/cache/chef/cookbooks/docker/libraries/docker_installation_package.rb line 42)
