User-Agent Request Headers
By default, all requests made by mixlib-install
will include a User-Agent
request header as mixlib-install/<version>
.
Additional User-Agent
request headers can be added by setting the user_agent_headers
option.
When you want to identify a product using mixlib-install as a dependency we recommend the format product/version
.
= {
channel: :stable,
product_name: 'chef',
user_agent_headers: ["my_product/1.2.3", "somethingelse"],
}
Collecting Software Dependencies and License Content
Collecting software dependencies and license content for ArtifactInfo instances
requires additional requests to the repository server. By default, collection is disabled.
To return data for instance methods software_dependencies
and license_content
, the include_metadata
option must be enabled.
= {
channel: :current,
product_name: 'chef',
product_version: :latest,
platform: 'mac_os_x',
platform_version: '10.9',
architecture: 'x86_64',
include_metadata: true,
}
artifact = Mixlib::Install.new().artifact_info
artifact.license_content.class
# => String
artifact.software_dependencies.class
# => Hash
# By default, the instance methods return nil
Development
VCR is a tool that helps cache and replay http responses. When these responses change or when you add more tests you might need to update cached responses. Check out spec_helper.rb for instructions on how to do this.
