rvm_fw Cookbook

This is a very opinionated and simple cookbook for utilizing an RVM::FW server instance and installing a default Ruby via RVM.

Requirements

packages

Usage

rvm_fw::default

{
  "name":"my_node",
  "run_list": [
    "recipe[rvm_fw]"
  ]
}

Notes

Testing Notes

In order to test this cookbook in its current form you'll need to setup your own RVM::FW instance and add the URL to the ['rvm_fw']['url'] attribute.

Tests are currently integration tests with test-kitchen:

bundle exec kitchen test

Kitchen tests are non-functional for debian platform systems. Not sure why yet. For now run the following:

bundle exec kitchen converge

You can verify that everything works as expected with the following:

bundle exec kitchen login <platform>
sudo su -
# Run the following to verify the cookbook works as expected
rvm --version
ruby --version
gem list bundler

Fedora (and possibly older RHEL distributions):

On Fedora (with test kitchen) you may need to negate requiretty:

$ visudo
# Change this line:
Defaults requiretty
# To this line:
Defaults !requiretty

If this occurs in your environment you'll need to configure your sudoers file prior to the rvm_fw cookbook running as it is outside the scope of this cookbook to make assumptions about your sudoers file.
