CookbookBumper

CookBumper does exactly what you think, it bumps cookbook versions for you as you modify them.

When it runs it looks for cookbooks that have been modified and bumps them. It also updates your environment files with the latest versions of all the cookbooks, and gives a nice little print out of what it did.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'cookbook_bumper'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install cookbook_bumper

Configure it as a rake task

require 'cookbook_bumper/rake_task'

CookbookBumper::RakeTask.new(:bump)

Or use it directly from the command line

$ cookbook_bumper
                   production

At the moment the only way to change the default settings is through the rake task

• cookbook_path - Where to look for cookbooks - Array (default: read from knife.rb)
• environment_path - Where to look for environment files - Array (default: read from knife.rb)
• exclude_environment - Names of environments to leave alone - Array (default: ['development'])
• repo_root - Root of repository to look for changes - String (default*: ./)
• knife_path - Location of knife.rb - String (default*: ./.chef/knife.rb)

*:Relative paths are relative to the location of the Rakefile

require 'cookbook_bumper/rake_task'

CookbookBumper::RakeTask.new(:bump) do |config|
  config.knife_path = './knife.rb'
end

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
