Supermarket Belongs to the Community

Supermarket belongs to the community. While Chef has the responsibility to keep it running and be stewards of its functionality, what it does and how it works is driven by the community. The chef/supermarket repository will continue to be where development of the Supermarket application takes place. Come be part of shaping the direction of Supermarket by opening issues and pull requests or by joining us on the Chef Mailing List.

Maintainers

This cookbook is maintained by the Sous Chefs. The Sous Chefs are a community of Chef cookbook maintainers working together to maintain important cookbooks. If you’d like to know more please visit sous-chefs.org or come chat with us on the Chef Community Slack in #sous-chefs.

Motivation

Quite often, the need arises to do line editing instead of managing an entire file with a template resource. This cookbook supplies various resources that will help you do this.

Limitations

  • The line resources processes the entire target file in memory. Trying to edit large files may fail.
  • The end of line processing was only tested using \n and \r\n. Using other line endings very well may not work.
  • The end of line string used needs to match the actual end of line used in the file \n and \r\n are used as the defaults but if they don't match the actual end of line used in the file the results will be weird.
  • Adding a line implies there is a separator on the previous line. Adding a line differs from appending characters.
  • Lines to be added should not contain EOL characters. The providers do not do multiline regex checks.
  • Missing file processing is the way it is by intention

    • add_to_list do nothing, list not found so there is nothing to add to.
    • append_if_no_line create file, add the line.
    • delete_from_list do nothing, the list was not found which implies there is nothing to delete
    • delete_lines do nothing, the line isn't there which implies there is nothing to delete
    • replace_or_add create file, add the line
    • filter_lines create file if the file changes
  • Chef client version 13 or greater is expected.

Resources

For more detailed information see the matching resource documentation:

[2.8.0] - 2020-03-06

  • Feature - no duplicates
  • Feature - next replace between
  • Migrate to github actions
  • Documentation fixes

  • Add new property remove_duplicates to add_or_replace resource
  • Update documentation for the default value of the replace_only property in the add_or_replace resource

[2.6.0] - 2019-12-19

  • Add the :next boundary option to replace_between
    This new options lets you replace delimited setting that extend over
    multiple lines. Adding :next to the boundary options find the next
    occurance of the search end pattern.

    Input file:
    logging = some, time, info,
              details;
    others = that;

    Desired output:
    logging = new, time, allinfo,
              details;
    others = that;

    Resource:
    replines = 'logging = new, time, allinfo,\ndetails;'
    filter_lines 'inputfile' do
      # :include makes sure to replace the matching lines
      # :next search for the first semicolon after matching logging =
      # The default behavior is to replace from the first match to the last
       filters(replace_between: [/^logging =/, /;/, replines, [:include,:next]])
    end
