Enabling/disabling yum repos

Chef Infra (archive)
1

I’m trying to figure out how to enable and disable yum repos with the 3.x yum
and yum-* cookbooks.

I’ve tried this, but it doesn’t appear to be working:

node.default[‘yum’][‘rpmforge’][‘enabled’] = false
node.default[‘yum’][‘rpmforge’][‘managed’] = true
include_recipe ‘yum-repoforge’

Can anyone help with this?

Thanks.

Hi Eric.

I can't seem to reproduce this.... I would expect this to work the way
you tried.

I just spot checked this in test-kitchen:

suites:

  • name: default
    run_list:
    • recipe[yum-repoforge::default]
      attributes:
      yum:
      rpmforge:
      enabled: false

As expected....

  • update content in file /etc/yum.repos.d/rpmforge.repo from ce2b6c to 5f4f85
  • execute yum -q makecache --disablerepo=* --enablerepo=rpmforge
  • execute the ruby block yum-cache-reload-rpmforge

Next, I added a test wrapper cookbook and a bats test (currently in
master), to try and reproduce it.

and

https://github.com/opscode-cookbooks/yum-repoforge/blob/master/test/integration/includerecipe/bats/test_for_disabled.bats#L5

Everything looks good to me... Tested on el5 and el6.
