#chef_version(*version_args) ⇒ Array<Gem::Dependency>

    Version constraint in String form

Returns:

  • (Array<Gem::Dependency>)

    Current chef_versions array

#depends(cookbook, *version_args) ⇒ Object

Adds a dependency on another cookbook, with version checking strings.

Parameters

Returns

versions<Array>

end

#description(arg = nil) ⇒ Object

#gem(*args) ⇒ Array<Array>

Metadata DSL to set a gem to install from the cookbook metadata. May be declared multiple times. All the gems from all the cookbooks are combined into one Gemfile and depsolved together. Uses Bundler’s DSL for its implementation.

Parameters:

  • args (Array<String>)

    Gem name and options to pass to Bundler’s DSL

Returns:

  • (Array<Array>)

    Array of gem statements as args

end

#gem_requirements_from_array(what, array) ⇒ Array<Gem::Dependency>

Convert an Array of Gem::Dependency objects (chef_version/ohai_version) to a hash.

This is the inverse of #gem_requirements_to_array

Parameters:

  • what (String)

    What version constraint we are constructing (‘chef’ or ‘ohai’ presently)

  • array (Array<Array<String>])

    Simple object representation of version constraints (from json)

Returns:

  • (Array<Gem::Dependency>)

    Multiple Gem-style version constraints

# File 'lib/chef/cookbook/metadata.rb', line 463

def gem_requirements_from_array(what, array)
  array.map do |dep|
    Gem::Dependency.new(what, *dep)
  end
end

#gem_requirements_to_array(*deps) ⇒ Array<Array<String>]

Convert an Array of Gem::Dependency objects (chef_version/ohai_version) to an Array.

Gem::Dependencey#to_s is not useful, and there is no #to_json defined on it or its component objets, so we have to write our own rendering method.

Gem::Dependency.new(“>= 12.5”), Gem::Dependency.new(“>= 11.18.0”, “< 12.0”)

results in:

[ “>= 12.5” ], [ “>= 11.18.0”, “< 12.0”

]

Parameters:

  • deps (Array<Gem::Dependency>)

    Multiple Gem-style version constraints

Returns:

  • (Array<Array<String>])

    Simple object representation of version constraints (for json)

#valid?Boolean

Whether this metadata is valid. In order to be valid, all required fields must be set. Chef’s validation implementation checks the content of a given field when setting (and raises an error if the content does not meet the criteria), so the content of the fields is not considered when checking validity.

Returns

valid<Boolean>

Whether this metadata object is valid

Returns:

  • (Boolean)
