Berkshelf tossing "invalid ruby files" error on a cookbook?

Chef Infra (archive)

https://gist.github.com/stormerider/5663698

I'm a bit confused, since this is essentially a branch of the 4.1.2
community cookbook with my two pull requests merged into it. I'm defining
this in my Berksfile as:

cookbook 'nagios', git: 'git@github.com:stormerider/nagios.git', branch:
'merge-4.1.2'

And I've never touched the file that it's complaining about, as you can see:

And if I remove the git source in the Berksfile, it pulls down 4.1.2 just
fine from the community site and installs it fine.

Morgan,

This looks like a Ruby 1.8.7 vs Ruby 1.9.3 syntax issue.

If you're using Ruby 1.8.7 locally to manage your chef environment,
some things may not work as expected, for instance foodcritic requires
Ruby 1.9 and above.

Many people writing spec files are writing them in Ruby 1.9 syntax,
and these are being included in the git source, vs a packaged tarball
on the community site which may exclude them (due to a chefignore or
such).

In any case, I'd personally recommend that you use a newer Ruby on
your workstation (and your servers) than 1.8.7.

I've converted the hash syntax to the "normal" style.

Sorry about that, I try to catch this because I personally don't like that style. It breaks compatibility for no real reason. :slight_smile:

Blargh, I was trying to point everything on my system to use
/opt/chef/embedded instead of the system ruby; I guess something snuck
through the cracks.

What is the preferred way to work with Chef under OSX? Is there an
RVM/rbenv/etc config that will use the omnibus install? I don't do much
Ruby work on this system outside of Chef.
