Class Method Details

.all_homes(*args, windows: ChefUtils.windows?) ⇒ Object

See self.home. This method performs a similar operation except that it yields all the different possible values of ‘HOME’ that one could have on this platform. Hence, on windows, if HOMEDRIVEHOMEPATH and USERPROFILE are different, the provided block will be called twice. This method goes out and checks the existence of each location at the time of the call.

The return is a list of all the returned values from each block invocation or a list of paths if no block is provided.

    # On Windows, HOMEDRIVE HOMEPATH can point to a different location (such as an unavailable network mounted drive)
    # while USERPROFILE points to the location where the user application settings and profile are stored.  HOME
    # is not defined as an environment variable (usually).  If the home path actually uses UNC, then the prefix is

.cleanpath(path, windows: ChefUtils.windows?) ⇒ String

The built in ruby Pathname#cleanpath method does not clean up forward slashes and backslashes. This is a wrapper around that which does. In general this is NOT recommended for internal use within ruby/chef since ruby does not care about forward slashes vs. backslashes, even on Windows. Where this generally matters is when being rendered to the user, or being rendered into things like the windows PATH or to commands that are being executed. In some cases it may be easier on windows to render paths to unix-style for being eventually eval’d by ruby in the future (templates being rendered with code to be consumed by ruby) where forcing unix-style forward slashes avoids the issue of needing to escape the backslashes in rendered strings. This has a boolean operator to force windows-style or non-windows style operation, where the default is determined by the underlying node value.

In general if you don’t know if you need this routine, do not use it, best practice within chef/ruby itself is not to care. Only use it to force windows or unix style when it really matters.

Parameters:

  • path (String) —

    the path to clean

  • windows (Boolean) (defaults to: ChefUtils.windows?) —

    optional flag to force to windows or unix-style

Returns:

  • (String) —

    cleaned path

.escape_glob(*parts, windows: ChefUtils.windows?) ⇒ Object

Deprecated.

this method is deprecated. Please use escape_glob_dirs

Paths which may contain glob-reserved characters need to be escaped before globbing can be done. stackoverflow.com/questions/14127343

.escape_glob_dir(*parts) ⇒ Object

This function does not switch to backslashes for windows This is because only forwardslashes should be used with dir (even for windows)

.escapepath(path) ⇒ String

This is not just escaping for something like use in Regexps, or in globs. For the former just use Regexp.escape. For the latter, use escape_glob_dir below.

This is escaping where the path to be rendered is being put into a ruby file which will later be read back by ruby (or something similar) so we need quadruple backslashes.

In order to print:

file_cache_path "C:\\chef"

We need to convert “C:chef” to “C:\\chef” to interpolate into a string which is rendered into the output file with that line in it.

Parameters:

  • path (String) —

    the path to escape

Returns:

  • (String) —

    the escaped path

end

.home(*args) ⇒ String

Retrieves the “home directory” of the current user while trying to ascertain the existence of said directory. The path returned uses / for all separators (the ruby standard format). If the home directory doesn’t exist or an error is otherwise encountered, nil is returned.

If a set of path elements is provided, they are appended as-is to the home path if the homepath exists.

If an optional block is provided, the joined path is passed to that block if the home path is valid and the result of the block is returned instead.

Home-path discovery is performed once. If a path is discovered, that value is memoized so that subsequent calls to home_dir don’t bounce around.

Parameters:

  • args (Array<String>) —

    Path components to look for under the home directory.

Returns:

  • (String)
