Overview

ImmutableMash

ImmutableMash implements Hash/Dict behavior for reading values from node attributes.

ImmutableMash acts like a Mash (Hash that is indifferent to String or Symbol keys), with some important exceptions:

  • Methods that mutate state are overridden to raise an error instead.

  • Methods that read from the collection are overriden so that they check if the Chef::Node::Attribute has been modified since an instance of this class was generated. An error is raised if the object detects that it is stale.

  • Values can be accessed in attr_reader-like fashion via method_missing.

Dynamic Method Handling

This class handles dynamic methods through the method_missing method

#method_missing(symbol, *args) ⇒ Object

def method_missing(symbol, *args)
  if symbol == :to_ary
    super
  elsif args.empty?
    if key?(symbol)
      self[symbol]
    else
      raise NoMethodError, "Undefined method or attribute `#{symbol}' on `node'"
    end
    # This will raise a ImmutableAttributeModification error:
  elsif symbol.to_s =~ /=$/
    key_to_set = symbol.to_s[/^(.+)=$/, 1]
    self[key_to_set] = (args.length == 1 ? args[0] : args)

    raise NoMethodError, "Undefined node attribute or method `#{symbol}' on `node'"

Instance Method Details

#convert_value(value) ⇒ Object

Mash uses #convert_value to mashify values on input. Since we’re handling this ourselves, override it to be a no-op

# File 'lib/chef/node/immutable_collections.rb', line 148

def convert_value(value)
  value
end

#dup ⇒ Object

NOTE: #default and #default= are likely to be pretty confusing. For a regular ruby Hash, they control what value is returned for, e.g.,

hash[:no_such_key] #=> hash.default

Of course, ‘default’ has a specific meaning in Chef-land
