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.

Poise-Hoist

A cookbook to help automate "attribute hoisting" when using Chef with Policyfiles.

Attribute hoisting is a way to store per-policy-group attributes in a policy to
allow similar settings to environment-level attributes in a pre-Policyfile
workflow. Just put the desired attributes under a top-level key matching the
name of the policy group and add poise-hoist either to your run list or to
your cookbook dependencies.

Quick Start

In your Policyfile:

name 'myapp'

run_list 'poise-hoist', 'myapp'

# Default value for all groups.
default['myapp']['debug_mode'] = true

# Per-group values, will be hoisted on top of the default above.
default['staging']['myapp']['debug_mode'] = 'extra_verbose'
default['prod']['myapp']['debug_mode'] = false

and then in your recipe code:

some_resource 'name' do
  debug_mode node['myapp']['debug_mode']
end

This automatically hoists up policy attributes set under a top-level key
matching the name of the policy group of the current node.

Requirements

Chef 12.2 or newer is required.

Use With Test Kitchen

When testing policies with the policyfile_zero provisioner plugin, the policy
group will always be local.

default['local']['myapp']['debug_mode'] = true

Environment Shim

For older cookbooks still expecting to use node.chef_environment, by default
that method will be patched to return the policy group label instead. This can
be disabled by setting node['poise-hoist']['hoist_chef_environment'] = false.

Data Bag Attributes

To pull in data from a data bag, set default['poise-hoist']['data_bag'] = 'the name of the data bag'
in your Policyfile. It will look for an item in the specified data bag using the
name of the node and then the name of policy group. You can use this in
combination with the normal group-level hoisting to have a different data bag
name for some policy groups.

This can be useful in combination with attributes from the Policyfile to provide
immediate overrides outside of the "compile and push" cycle of the policy system.
