Correct, you need the ruby do block.
I have a cookbook for my application, which has
depends "application_ruby"
in its metadata.rb, and then in its default recipe, has this (as an
example):
application "zmx_app" do
path "/srv/zmx"
owner 'nobody'
group 'nogroup'
repository 'git@github.com:zmxmusic/zmx2.git'
deploy_key "-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY----- ...etc... -----END RSA
PRIVATE KEY-----\n" # note embedded newlines
if node.chef_environment=='production'
revision '2.26'
action :deploy
else
revision 'master'
action :force_deploy
end
db = "zmx_#{node.chef_environment}"
rails do
gems ['bundler']
precompile_assets true
database do
reconnect true
encoding 'utf8'
username '...'
adapter 'mysql2'
password '...'
database db
end
database_master_role "zmx_database_master"
end
passenger_apache2 do
end
end
There might well be better ways to do it; I migrated up from the old
cookbook. My apache/passenger config is really done in other recipes; one
of these days I'll take care of that and probably migrate to unicorn,
nginx, etc.
Don't know what you're using for database. I had to wrestle mightily with
the mysql (and database?) cookbooks to get a working set of
cookbooks+recipes that would come up from scratch on AWS... I'm not even
convinced I've actually got that, yet, but needed to move on and get stuff
done.

I'm trying to deploy a Rails app using the new application cookbook.
According to the README, I'm supposed to declare a dependency on the
application_rails cookbook in the metadata.rb, but that doesn't seem to
exist. Earlier in the README, application_ruby is mentioned, so I switched
it to that. Do we need a documentation fix there?
Anyway, I can't quite figure out how the rails-y portion of the cookbook
is supposed to be invoked. Just declaring a "depends" line in metadata.rb
doesn't actually run anything, does it?
I see in the examples that there is a rails do ... end block in the
application's block. Is that what triggers it?
Does anyone have a working example of deploying a Rails app w/ the new
application cookbook?
