managed_directory (6) Versions 0.3.0 Follow2
Provides the managed_directory resource
cookbook 'managed_directory', '= 0.3.0', :supermarket
knife supermarket install managed_directory
knife supermarket download managed_directory
Description
Provides a custom resource to declare that a directory's contents are
entirely managed by Chef. When a node is converged, any files present
in the managed_directory
that are not managed by Chef will be removed.
Requirements
Platform
Known to work on CentOS and OS X. Should work on other Unix-like
systems.
Resource
managed_directory
Ensure that a directory contains only files put there by Chef in this
run. Any other files will be removed.
Actions
-
:clean
- Remove any unmanaged files.
Attribute Parameters
-
path
- (name attribute) The absolute path to the directory to be managed. -
clean_files
- Boolean to determine whether unmanaged files should be removed. Default istrue
. -
clean_links
- Boolean to determine whether unmanaged links should be removed. Default istrue
. -
clean_directories
- Boolean to determine whether unmanaged subdirectories should be removed. Default isfalse
.
Usage
default
Include the default recipe in a run list to make the resource
available in your run.
test
The 'test' recipe illustrates use of the managed_directory
resource.
test_directories
The 'test_directories' recipe illustrates use of the managed_directory
resource when having it clean up unwanted subdirectories.
Caveats
The directory to be managed must already exist. If you also need
to ensure that the directory exists, use the Directory resource
separately.If you require subdirectories to be managed as well, be sure to set the
clean_directories
attribute totrue
A file is considered to be managed if there is a resource with a
name attribute equal to the file's full path. It will do the wrong
thing if this assumption is not true for the contents of your
directory.Files managed by resources created after this resource is converged
(eg, from within aruby_block
or resource later in the run list) will
be incorrectly identified as "unmanaged", and then deleted. They
will be recreated later in the run, but this creates a window where
the file is missing.

MANAGED_DIRECTORY CHANGELOG
This file is used to list changes made in each version of the managed_directory cookbook.
v0.3.0
- converted from LWRP to custom resource
- fixed potential false positive where resource reported an update
- fixed issue where non-path named resources were skipped
- Chef 13 compatible
v0.2.1
- Fix bug for subdirectories when clean_directories is false. This would cause
the subdirectory to be handed to the
file
resource in the provider, which would then cause chef-client to abort.
v0.2.0
- Added cleaning of subdirectories
- Added separate handling of links, which were formerly handled by the file resource, as managing links via file resources is deprecated
- Added attributes to control handling of files, directories and links
-
clean_files
andclean_links
default totrue
to preserve existing behavior -
clean_directories
defaults tofalse
to preserve existing behavior
-
- Updated tests to current ChefSpec and ServerSpec, following examples from
ChefDK's
chef generate cookbook
output - Updated Test Kitchen to current CentOS (6.6)
- Updated README.md for new behaviors
- Added ChefSpec matchers for test-ability
v0.1.0

- FIX don't blow up when resource names are symbols
- Thanks to Mark Friedgan (hubrix) for this fix.
