Chef::Sugar
Chef Sugar is a Gem & Chef Recipe that includes series of helpful sugar of the Chef core and other resources to make a cleaner, more lean recipd DSL, enforce DRY principles, and make writing Chef recipes an awesome experience!
Installation
If you want to development/hack on chef-sugar, please see the Contributing.md.
If you are using Berkshelf, add chef-sugar
to your Berksfile
:
cookbook 'chef-sugar'
Otherwise, you can use knife
or download the tarball directly from the community site:
knife cookbook site install chef-sugar
Usage
In order to use Chef Sugar in your Chef Recipes, you'll first need to include it:
include_recipe 'chef-sugar::default'
Alternatively you can put it in a base role or recipe and it will be included subsequently.
Requiring the Chef Sugar Gem will automatically extend the Recipe DSL, Chef::Resource
, and Chef::Provider
with helpful convienence methods.
Module Method
If you are working outside of the Recipe DSL, you can use the module methods instead of the Recipe DSL. In general, the module methods have the same name as their Recipe-DSL counterparts, but require the node object as a parameter. For example:
In a Recipe:
# cookbook/recipes/default.rb do_something if windows?
In a Library as a singleton:
# cookbook/libraries/default.rb def only_on_windows(&block) yield if Chef::Sugar::PlatformFamily.windows?(@node) end
In a Library as a Mixin:
# cookbook/libraries/default.rb include Chef::Sugar::PlatformFamily def only_on_windows(&block) yield if windows?(@node) end
API
Note: For the most extensive API documentation, please see the YARD documentation.
Architecture
Note: Some of the architecture commands begin with an underscore (_
) because Ruby does not permit methods to start with a numeric.
_64_bit?
_32_bit?
Examples
execute 'build[my binary]' do command '...' not_if { _64_bit? } end
Cloud
azure?
cloud?
ec2?
eucalyptus?
gce?
linode?
openstack?
cloudstack?
rackspace?
Examples
template '/tmp/config' do variables( # See also: best_ip_for ipaddress: cloud? ? node['local_ipv4'] : node['public_ipv4'] ) end
Data Bag
-
encrypted_data_bag_item
- a handy DSL method for loading encrypted data bag items the same way you load a regular data bag item; this requiresChef::Config[:encrypted_data_bag_secret]
is set! -
encrypted_data_bag_item_for_environment
- find the data bag entry for the current node's Chef environment.
Examples
encrypted_data_bag_item('accounts', 'hipchat')
encrypted_data_bag_item_for_environment('accounts', 'github')
Attributes
Chef Sugar adds more Chef-like DSL to attribute definitions. Instead of using the Ruby hash syntax, you can define attributes using nested namespaces. This DSL may be more friendly to non-Ruby developers. It can safely be mixed-and-matched with the standard syntax.
# This is functionally the same as default['apache2']['config']['root'] = '/var/www' namespace 'apache2' do namespace 'config' do root '/var/www' end end
# Specify multiple keys instead of nesting namespaces namespace 'apache2', 'config' do root '/var/www' end
# Specify different nested precedence levels namespace 'apache2', precedence: normal do namespace 'config', precedence: override do root '/var/www' #=> override['apache2']['config']['root'] = '/var/www' end end
Constraints
-
constaints
- create a new contraint (or requirement) that can be used to test version validations. -
chef_version
- (DSL only) a wrapper forversion(Chef::VERSION)
-
version
- create a new version that can be used to test constraint validation.
Examples
# Check if a version is satisfied by a constraint version('1.2.3').satisfies?('~> 1.2.0')
# Check if a constraint is satisfied by a version constraint('~> 1.2.0').satisfied_by?('1.2.3')
# Support multiple constraints version('1.2.3').satisfies?('> 1.2', '< 2.0') constraint('> 1.2', '< 2.0').satisfied_by?('1.2.3')
# Only perform an operation if Chef is at a certain version package 'apache2' do not_if { chef_version.satisfies?('~> 11.0') } # Ignore Chef 11 end
Kernel
-
require_chef_gem
- "safely" require a gem. Loading a gem with Chef is sometimes difficult and confusing. The errors that Chef produces are also sometimes not very intuitive. In the event you require a gem to exist on the system, you can userequire_chef_gem
, which wil attempt to require the gem and then produce helpful output if the gem is not installed:Chef could not load the gem `#{name}'! You may need to install the gem manually with `gem install #{name}', or include a recipe before you can use this resource. Please consult the documentation for this cookbook for proper usage.
Examples
# LWRP require_chef_gem 'pry'
class Chef class Provider class MyProvider > Provider require_chef_gem 'pry' end end end
IP
-
best_ip_for
- determine the best IP address for the given "other" node, preferring local IP addresses over public ones.
Examples
redis = search('node', 'role:redis').first template '/tmp/config' do variables( ipaddress: best_ip_for(redis) ) end
Node
-
deep_fetch
- safely fetch a nested attribute. -
deep_fetch!
- fetch a nested attribute, raising a more semantic error if the key does not exist. -
in?
- determine if the node is in the given Chef environment. includes_recipe?
Examples
credentials = if in?('production') Chef::EncryptedDataBag.new('...') else data_bag('...') end
if includes_recipe?('apache2::default') apache_module 'my_module' do # ... end end
node.deep_fetch('apache2', 'config', 'root') => node['apache2']['config']['root']
Platform
amazon_linux?
centos?
linux_mint?
oracle_linux?
redhat_enterprise_linux?
scientific_linux?
ubuntu?
There are also a series of dynamically defined matchers that map named operating system release versions and comparison operators in the form "#{platform}_#{operator}_#{name}?". For example:
debian_after_squeeze?
linuxmint_after_or_at_olivia?
mac_os_x_lion?
ubuntu_before_lucid?
ubuntu_before_or_at_maverick?
To get a full list, run the following in IRB:
require 'chef/sugar' puts Chef::Sugar::Platform.instance_methods
Examples
if ubuntu? execute 'apt-get update' end
Platform Family
arch_linux?
debian?
fedora?
freebsd?
gentoo?
linux?
mac_os_x?
openbsd?
rhel?
slackware?
suse?
windows?
Examples
node['attribute'] = if windows? 'C:\Foo\BarDrive' else '/foo/bar_drive' end
Ruby
Note: The applies to the the Ruby found at node['languages']['ruby']
.
ruby_20?
ruby_19?
Examples
log 'This has been known to fail on Ruby 2.0' if ruby_20?
Shell
which
dev_null
installed?
installed_at_version?
version_for
Examples
log "Using `mongo` at `#{which('mongo')}`" if installed?('apt') execute 'apt-get update' end execute 'install[thing]' do command "... 2>&1 #{dev_null}" not_if { installed_at_version?('thing', node['thing']['version']) } end log "Skipping git install, version is at #{version_for('mongo', '-v')}"
Vagrant
vagrant?
Examples
http_request 'http://...' do not_if { vagrant? } end
Filters
-
compile_time
- accepts a block of resources to run at compile time -
before
- insert resource in the collection before the given resource -
after
- insert resource in the collection after the given resource
Examples
compile_time do package 'apache2' end # This is equivalent to package 'apache2' do action :nothing end.run_action(:install)
before 'service[apache2]' do log 'I am before the apache 2 service fires!' end
after 'service[apache2]' do log 'I am after the apache 2 service fires!' end
