Where does the new line symbol is?

I have this code:

pasver = /usr/local/rvm/bin/gem list | grep passenger.sub
/.((.)).*/, ‘\1’.chomp

if !
::File.exists?("/usr/local/rvm/gems/#{node[‘redmine’][‘rubyversion’]}/gems/passenger-#{pasver.chomp!}/buildout/apache2/mod_passenger.so")
then

 bash "build_and_install_passenger_module_for_apache" do
 user "root"
 code <<-EOH
             source /etc/profile.d/rvm.sh

/usr/local/rvm/gems/#{node[‘redmine’][‘rubyversion’]}/bin/passenger-install-apache2-module
-a
EOH
end
end

And a problem is that
"/usr/local/rvm/gems/#{node[‘redmine’][‘rubyversion’]}/gems/passenger-#{pasver.chomp!}/buildout/apache2/mod_passenger.so"
if a two lines string variable

Why this happens ?

I have second use case in other (erb) file:

<% pasver = /usr/local/rvm/bin/gem list | grep passenger.sub
/.((.)).*/, ‘\1’.chomp %>
PassengerRoot <%=
"/usr/local/rvm/gems/#{node[‘redmine’][‘rubyversion’]}/gems/passenger-#{pasver.chomp!}"
%>
PassengerDefaultRuby /usr/local/rvm/wrappers/<%=
node[‘redmine’][‘rubyversion’]%>/ruby

This file generates:

LoadModule passenger_module
/usr/local/rvm/gems/ruby-2.0.0-p247/gems/passenger-4.0.19
/buildout/apache2/mod_passenger.so

Why ?

Excusme I am some wrong.

This is true:

LoadModule passenger_module

The "chomp" in the line of code above has no effect. The problem is that it
is being applied to the literal string: '\1' which has no newline character
in it.

If you want it to apply to the string that is the result of the call to the
#sub method, you need some parenthesis:

pasver = /usr/local/rvm/bin/gem list | grep passenger.sub*(/.((.))./,
'\1').chomp

Another way to get rid of the newline character that comes from the "gem
list | grep ..." command is to alter your regular expression so that the
"." (dot) character will also match newline characters, my adding the "m"
modifier:

pasver = /usr/local/rvm/bin/gem list | grep passenger.sub /.((.)).*/*m
*, '\1'

Anyhow, this explains why the pasver variable holds a string that includes
a newline.

end

And a problem is that "/usr/local/rvm/gems/#{node['**
redmine']['rubyversion']}/gems/passenger-#{pasver.chomp!

Why this happens ?

The code "pasver.chomp!" should be removing that newline character
successfully. I don't know why there would still be a newline character.
However, if, somehow, the pasver string was terminated with more than one
newline character (2, for example) that would explain why #chomp! is
failing to remove it. A ruby example in ruby's irb shell:

$ irb

"test\n\n".chomp!
=> "test\n"

Note: you can just use "chomp" instead of "chomp!" unless you use "pasver"
later and expect it to already have newlines removed.

I have second use case in other (erb) file:

<% pasver = /usr/local/rvm/bin/gem list | grep passenger.sub
/.((.)).*/, '\1'.chomp %>
PassengerRoot <%= "/usr/local/rvm/gems/#{node['**
redmine']['rubyversion']}/gems/passenger-#{pasver.chomp!}" %>
PassengerDefaultRuby /usr/local/rvm/wrappers/<%=
node['redmine']['rubyversion']**%>/ruby

This file generates:

LoadModule passenger_module /usr/local/rvm/gems/ruby-2.0.**
0-p247/gems/passenger-4.0.19

How does a template with "Passenger Root ..." and "PassengerDefaultRuby
..." create a file with "LoadModule ..." ?

Why ?

Again, I'm not sure why the call to #chomp! isn't removing the trailing
newline (again, unless there are somehow multiple newlines).

However, in both cases, fixing your call to #sub by either including the
"m" modifier, and/or changing the regular expression itself will result in
"pasver" not having any trailing newlines in the first place, making it
unnecessary to call #chomp! or #chomp at all.

I don't know why. But () don't help for me. As in the recipe code and

I cannot find via google /m, May be /m has a literal name for googling ?

$ irb

"test\n\n".chomp!
=> "test\n"

I've tested out this example. All it's okey in irb.

I don't get strange behaviour in IRB never. But chef runtime is
something else.

Note: you can just use "chomp" instead of "chomp!" unless you use
"pasver" later and expect it to already have newlines removed.

I have second use case in other (erb) file:

<% pasver = `/usr/local/rvm/bin/gem list | grep passenger`.sub
/.*\((.*)\).*/, '\1'.chomp %>
PassengerRoot <%=
"/usr/local/rvm/gems/#{node['redmine']['rubyversion']}/gems/passenger-#{pasver.chomp!}"
%>
PassengerDefaultRuby /usr/local/rvm/wrappers/<%=
node['redmine']['rubyversion']%>/ruby

This file generates:

LoadModule passenger_module
/usr/local/rvm/gems/ruby-2.0.0-p247/gems/passenger-4.0.19
/buildout/apache2/mod_passenger.so

How does a template with "Passenger Root ..." and
"PassengerDefaultRuby ..." create a file with "LoadModule ..." ?

I am mistake when copy-past a template example:

LoadModule passenger_module <%=
"/usr/local/rvm/gems/#{node['redmine']['rubyversion']}/gems/passenger-#{@pasver}/buildout/apache2/mod_passenger.so"
%>

I remake a template with a local var, that sending to a template from
recipe code:

 configfile = 

"#{node['redmine']['datafs']}/config/mods-available/passenger.load"
template configfile do
source "passenger.load.erb"
mode 0400
variables ({
:pasver => pasver
})
notifies :restart, resources(:service=>"apache2")
end

I add "variables ({ ... })". This is because you suggestions isn't
worked out for me at all.

I don't understand why. But if I use /m modifier then in the my old
template code there is no value for pasver variable, and template
generates all without pasver value:

LoadModule passenger_module
/usr/local/rvm/gems/ruby-2.0.0-p247/gems/passenger-/buildout/apache2/mod_passenger.so

May be this is an ruby object scope area ?

Now I use pasver variable generation in the recipe code:

pasver = /usr/local/rvm/bin/gem list | grep passenger.sub
/.((.)).*/m, '\1'

And after I transfer it to the erb's.

So I using this generated var in recipe - and all it's okey:

pasver = /usr/local/rvm/bin/gem list | grep passenger.sub
/.((.)).*/m, '\1'

if !
::File.exists?("/usr/local/rvm/gems/#{node['redmine']['rubyversion']}/gems/passenger-#{pasver}/buildout/apache2/mod_passenger.so")
then

 bash "build_and_install_passenger_module_for_apache" do
 user "root"
 code <<-EOH
             source /etc/profile.d/rvm.sh

/usr/local/rvm/gems/#{node['redmine']['rubyversion']}/bin/passenger-install-apache2-module
-a
EOH
not_if
::File.exists?("/usr/local/rvm/gems/#{node['redmine']['rubyversion']}/gems/passenger-#{pasver}/buildout/apache2/mod_passenger.so")
end

Strange behaviour happens.

Why ?
