v0.5.0
This release brings a couple of improvements to how cookbook dependencies are resolved, making it possible to use chef-runner as a "general purpose Chef provisioner" outside of a cookbook directory. (Thanks to @guilhem for the idea!)
For this, chef-runner now follows these rules:
- If the current directory contains a
Berksfile
, Berkshelf is used to manage
cookbooks. - If the current directory contains a
Cheffile
, Librarian-Chef is used to
manage cookbooks. - If the current directory is a cookbook with a
metadata.rb
file that defines
the cookbook's name, only this cookbook is copied to the right place. - The same is done when dependencies have already been resolved with Berkshelf
or Librarian-Chef to reduce overall provisioning time. metadata.rb
is only required when defining recipes in a format other than
cookbook::recipe
. The standard syntaxcookbook::recipe
should always work.- chef-runner fails if no cookbooks can be found.
Other improvements:
- Configure Chef to verify all HTTPS connections. This removes the SSL warning
message printed at the start of every Chef run. (Internally,ssl_verify_mode
is set to:verify_peer
, which is going to be the new default someday.) - Add
script/coverage
to generate code coverage statistics for Go packages. - Test dependency handling and provisioning more thoughtfully.
- Log most executed commands when log level is set to debug.
- Improve many parts of the README.
- Add Go documentation to some packages.
