Chef Release Announcements

Hey folks,

Just in time for your Chef Infra Client 16.3 upgrades we have a new release of Cookstyle out with 2 new cops to cleanup macos_userdefaults usage.

ChefCorrectness/MacosUserdefaultsInvalidType

The macos_userdefaults resource prior to Chef Infra Client 16.3 would silently continue if invalid types were passed resulting in unexpected behavior. Valid values are array, bool, dict, float, int, and string. The ChefCorrectness/MacosUserdefaultsInvalidType will detect invalid types and autocorrect several common mistakes such as using integer instead of int.

Enabled by default: True

Autocorrects: Yes

ChefDeprecations/MacosUserdefaultsGlobalProperty

The ChefDeprecations/MacosUserdefaultsGlobalProperty cop detects the usage of the global property in the macos_userdefaults resource which was deprecated in Chef Infra Client 16.3. You can now omit the domain property to set global default values instead.

Enabled by default: True

Autocorrects: Yes

Other Improvements

  • ChefCorrectness/InvalidPlatformFamilyHelper will now autocorrect offenses.
  • ChefEffortless/CookbookUsesEnvironmments has been renamed ChefEffortless/CookbookUsesEnvironments. Sticky Macbook keyboards are not fun.
  • ChefStyle/FileMode now detects the files_mode property in remote_directory resources.
  • Many styleguide links have been fixed to properly point to the docs in the Cookstyle repo.

Enjoy,
Tim
