Development repository for the rvm cookbook

RVM

chef-rvm

WARNING - Please read!

There is currently a major rewrite going on with this cookbook to simplify the interface to RVM with Chef. Expect the master branch to be very broken until there is a 1.0 release. All previous pull requests will need to rebase to the newer master to contribute to the newly re-factored resources.

Description

Manages system-wide and per-user RVMs and manages installed Rubies. Several resources are defined to accomplish these tasks.

Requirements

Chef

Tested on 12.5.1 but older versions of chef may not work due to the changes in the resource model. You are welcome to submit a pull request to add this support.

File an issue if this isn't the case.

Platform

The following platforms have been tested with this cookbook, meaning that the recipes and LWRPs run on these platforms without error:

• ubuntu (12.04 and higher)
• debian (6.0 and newer)
• mac_os_x (10.6/10.7) (See Platform Notes)
• mac_os_x_server (See Platform Notes)
• suse (openSUSE, SLES)
• centos
• amazon (2011.09)
• scientific
• redhat
• fedora
• gentoo

Please report any additional platforms so they can be added.

Platform Notes

OSX

This cookbook suggests the homebrew cookbook, which is needed to install any additional packages needed to compile ruby. RVM now ships binary rubies, but will require homebrew to install any additional libraries.

Cookbooks

If you are installing JRuby then a Java runtime will need to be installed. The Opscode java cookbook can be used on supported platforms.

Installation

Depending on the situation and use case there are several ways to install this cookbook. All the methods listed below assume a tagged version release is the target, but omit the tags to get the head of development. A valid Chef repository structure like the Opscode repo is also assumed.

Using Berkshelf

Berkshelf is a way to manage a cookbook or an application's cookbook dependencies. Include the cookbook in your Berksfile, and then run berks install. To install using Berkshelf:

    gem install berkshelf
    cd chef-repo
    berks init
    echo "cookbook 'rvm', github: 'fnichol/chef-rvm'" >> Berksfile
    berks install

Using Librarian-Chef

Librarian-Chef is a bundler for your Chef cookbooks. Include a reference to the cookbook in a Cheffile and run librarian-chef install. To install Librarian-Chef:

    gem install librarian-chef
    cd chef-repo
    librarian-chef init
    cat >> Cheffile <<END_OF_CHEFFILE
    cookbook 'rvm',
      :git => 'git://github.com/fnichol/chef-rvm.git', :ref => 'v0.10.1'
    END_OF_CHEFFILE
    librarian-chef install

Recipes

default

Installs the RVM gem and initializes Chef to use the Resources in this cookbook for installing and managing RVM.

Contributing

See the CONTRIBUTING.md file

Testing

Make sure you have the following requirements setup:

• Vagrant
• vagrant-berkshelf

After you bundle install run rake for unit tests and kitchen test for integration level tests.

rvm's Issues

No Default RVM Ruby

Provide an easy way to disable having a default RVM Ruby while keeping the system Ruby as the default.

Currently, I have to:

node.override.rvm.delete("default_ruby")
node.override.rvm.install_rubies = "disable" # or I get an error

before:

include_recipe "rvm"
node.rvm.rubies.each do |rubie|
  rvm_ruby rubie
end
# because the rvm rubies otherwise won't get installed
# should also do the same thing with global gems

RVM string cache problem (in rvm_shell)

I have RVM installed system-wide, and I am doing something like this in a recipe:

rvm_shell "bundle install" do
  user        'vagrant'
  group       'vagrant'
  ...
end

Due to the setting of the user, canonical_ruby_string in Chef::RVM::StringCache looks for the rvm source file in the "vagrant" user's home directory. However, RVM is installed system-wide, so this causes it to break.

Perhaps it should check the user's home dir, and then fall back to the system wide location.

knife cookbook upload chef-rvm fails

Hi. I am very new (~1 day) to Chef so this in fact may not be a bug and may be user error. With that said, when I try to upload the Cookbook up to opscode, I get the following error

$ knife cookbook upload chef-rvm
ERROR: Chef::Exceptions::ValidationFailed: Option type must be equal to one of: string, array, hash, symbol! You passed "boolean".

It would appear the offending code is in metadata.rb:

attribute "rvm/install_rubies",
:display_name => "Can enable or disable installation of a default ruby and additional rubies set attribute metadata.",
:description => "Can enable or disable installation of a default ruby and additional rubies set attribute metadata. The primary use case for this attribute is when you don't want any rubies installed (but you want RVM installed).",
:type => "boolean",
:default => true

Any ideas on how to get around it? I tried changing :type to "string" and :default to "true" but for my troubles all I got was:

Uploading chef-rvm [0.6.0]
ERROR: EOFError: end of file reached

why chef-rvm and not rvm?

I am curious why this repo is called chef-rvm but the cookbook is named rvm. This would appear to require the name of the repo name be changed in order for the cookbook to work. Or am I missing something?

Update RVM install to use SSL URL

Looks like RVM now uses an SSL URL to download the installer. Just need to:

• Tweak the rvm/installer_url attribute
• Update the curl flags in rvm/recipes/system.rb
• Test for regressions

Use `exec`.

In providers/shell.rb and libraries/helpers.rb, use exec #{new_resource.code} rather than just #{new_resource.code} and && exec #{cmd.gsub(/"/, '\"')} rather than just exec #{cmd.gsub(/"/, '\"')}.

rvm_shell should support only_if and not_if

Recipe fails on STDERR: sh: source: not found ---- End output of source /etc/profile.d/rvm.sh && rvm jruby-1.6.0@global gem env gempath ---- Ran source /etc/profile.d/rvm.sh && rvm jruby-1.6.0@global gem env gempath returned 127

The recipe fails when trying to install the bundler gem (this happens also on 1.9.2 not just jruby)

[Sat, 02 Apr 2011 14:02:52 +0000] ERROR: rvm_gem[bundler](/home/ronen/chef-meta/external/cookbooks/rvm/recipes/default.rb:51:in `from_file') had an error:

Add Vagrant/chef-solo wrapper script so the Chef gem is found on later runs

If the cookbook user is running with a Vagrant base box and a package or source installed Ruby, the installation of RVM with a default Ruby will "hide" that system Ruby. The next Vagrant provision run, the chef-solo binary is no longer in the user's PATH and the Chef run fails.

One solution is to install the Chef gem into the global_gems list:

:rvm => {
  :global_gems => [
    { :name => "bundler" },
    { :name => "rake" },
    { :name => "chef" }
  ]
}

Another solution is to use a wrapper script to "find" the original system Ruby Chef gem

Readme is too huge. Please split it in three.

Hey fnichol,

The readme is too large. IMO it should be split into 3 (maybe wiki) pages atleast. One each for recipes, attributes and LWRPs. That should make it very easy to navigate and search.

B/w thanks for the nice work. This is the most detailed rvm cookbook I've found.

Akash

Add explicit support for RVM "stable" version installation

It appears to install one would use:

bash -s stable < <(curl -s https://raw.github.com/wayneeseguin/rvm/master/binscripts/rvm-installer)

and to update:

rvm get head && rvm get stable

Feature Suggestion: Add a `rubygems` resource.

Feature Suggestion: Add a rubygems resource.

And an accompanying rubygems provider.

Motivation:

The user may have installed ruby and its default rubygems some time ago, but may wish to keep current with rubygems or downgrade in case of rubygems issues.

Specification:

The resource should have a required attribute ruby_string to specify which rvm-managed ruby's rubygems to change.

The resource should have an optional attribute version to specify the version constraints on the rubygems for the named ruby. The version attribute should permit an exact version, and it should also permit a version constraint, a comma-separated string of version constraints, or an array of version constraints.

The resource should have a default action of install, but also an action of upgrade.

The install action should install/upgrade rubygems into the named ruby only if a version of rubygems complying with the version constraints from the version attribute is missing.

The upgrade action should always install/upgrade rubygems into the named ruby, unless the most-recent version of rubygems complying with the version constraints from the version attribute is already installed.

private method `chomp' called for nil:NilClass

Hi,

Pinged you on twitter about this about a month ago. I've updated to the latest release of your cookbook(0.8.4), and I'm still seeing this issue.

Thanks

Another rvm cookbook floating around

Awesome cookbook fletcher! Not sure if you've pulled everything from this yet, but thought I'd mention:

Made a comment in his issues, so maybe he can point people your way if he so chooses :)

NameError: wrong constant name Chef-rvmGlobalGem

When I run the default Chef-RVM recipe from Vagrant with this very simple Vagrantfile:

Vagrant::Config.run do |config|
  config.vm.box = 'lucid32'
  config.vm.provision :chef_solo do |chef|
    chef.cookbooks_path = 'cookbooks'
    chef.add_recipe 'rvm'
  end
end

I get the following error when provisioning:

chef .9 and arrays in attributes

I would really like to get this working on chef .9, which is the highest version of chef that RightScale supports.

It would seem that the issue is that chef .9 doesn't handle attributes that are arrays or hashes. I was trying to think of a workaround for this, such as setting the attribute as a string and then parsing it. Is this something that you see as a workable solution?

Cannot install bundler & rake

We try to run this recipe on Ubuntu machine with this:

include_recipe "rvm::system"

and this node configuration:
"rvm": { "install_rubies": true, "rubies": ["1.9.2"] }

However, we are running into this:

Perhaps this may help you imagine what happening:

Don't know why 1.10.0-pre is there, since the latest version of bundler should be '1.1.rc'

Revamp and update README

Get the README doc current and up to date. Still need to decide on style/headings since this seems varied across cookbooks but so far I'm looking at:

• https://github.com/opscode/cookbooks/blob/master/chef/README.md
• https://github.com/opscode/cookbooks/blob/master/git/README.rdoc
• https://github.com/opscode/cookbooks/blob/master/imagemagick/README.rdoc

include Chef::RVM::StringHelpers to provide select_ruby function

chef-gitorious calls select_ruby from it's default recipe and is relying on the rvm cookbook to provide that method.

Trouble getting rvm::user working

I ran rvm::system. Works perfect. rvm is there. I want to do it per the vagrant use for our vagrant-rails project. Here is my recipe and it simply doesn't work. What am I doing wrong?

node['rvm']['user_installs'] = [
{ 'user' => 'vagrant',
'global_gems' => [ { 'name' => 'bundler' } ]
}
]

Add installation options/instructions to README

We should lay out the most common ways of using a standalone chef cookbook, namely:

• as a git submodule
• using the knife-github-cookbooks knife plugin
• github tarball download (is it even worth mentioning in light of the branch-by-cookbook pattern)?
• opscode platform once published

rvm head (after 1.8.6): new set/alias behavior

See rvm/rvm#494

rvm 1.9.0 will support the following syntax:

# rvm [ruby] do something :
rvm default do something
rvm default@gemset do something
rvm /path/to/project do something
rvm default@gemset

rvm use /path/to/project

rvm install ruby-named ; rvm use ruby-named

I ran into this not working in 1.8.6 when trying to use rvm_gem without specifying the ruby_string. It defaults to 'default' which fails horribly on both 1.6.5 and 1.8.6.

I have a local patch to the cookbook that can resolve 'default' to ruby@gemset. Are you interested in seeing it or should we just rely on this new functionality?

Recipe to install RVM locally for a user

This can be useful for special system users needing more ruby isolation. Main use case here for me is to allow the user running a Hudson/Jenkins instance to add more rubies and spin up gemsets while leaving a system-wide RVM install alone. We might not want to impact a production running passenger or rails stack running while performing CI tasks.

Tentative idea is to have an rvm::user recipe that will iterate over an rvm/user_installs array of system users. Issues to solve are how to set defaults such as default_ruby and gems in some kind of hash that isn't overly complicated.

JRuby install issue

Now that I've grabbed the workaround from @fnordfish, I can't seem to get jruby-1.6.1 to install. It says to check the logs, but there are none. Here's what I think is happening:

• I've set recipe[java] before recipe[rvm] in the role I'm installing
• The OpenJDK installs before RVM goes to install JRuby
• JRuby install fails
• Then I see that the OpenJDK gets set as a possible JVM with update-alternatives

I saw that there was a line somewhere in the RVM helpers (commented out) that included the Java recipe. Is there any way to ensure that the Java recipe is complete and installed before RVM starts installing?

Thanks!

notifies from within rvm_shell doesn't trigger

Hi,
I am trying to use notifies from within rvm_shell but having trouble.

For example:

ruby_block "a block" do
block do
Chef::Log.info("my block ran")
end

action :nothing

end

rvm_shell "a command" do
code "echo foobar"
notifies :create, "ruby_block[a block]", :immediately
end

results in the output:
[Thu, 26 Jan 2012 00:49:14 -0800] INFO: Starting Chef Run (Version 0.9.12)
[Thu, 26 Jan 2012 00:50:07 -0800] INFO: Ran script[a command] successfully

A set version of RVM can be installed (rather than only HEAD)

In order to have more reproducible deployments over time, there should be a mechanism to install a specific tagged version (or git SHA hash) of RVM.

• The RVM install-system-wide script has a --revision X flag which can target a commit ID or git tag
• A local install of RVM could checkout a on a commit ID or git tag (i.e. cd $HOME/rvm/srv/rvm && git checkout 1.0.0 && $PWD/scripts/install)

Defaults

In my recipes I typically want the RVM resources, but not the defaults the RVM attributes/recipies set.

I like having the cookbook provide me with the tools to manage RVM resources in the form of the LW resources/providers. But I typically start with

node.rvm.default_ruby = "system"
node.rvm.rubies.clear
node.rvm.global_gems.clear
include_recipe "rvm"

because I don't need the defaults.

If

gem_package 'rvm' do
  action :nothing
end.run_action(:install)

require 'rubygems'
Gem.clear_paths
require 'rvm'
create_rvm_shell_chef_wrapper
create_rvm_chef_user_environment

were in recipes/system.rb, that would be very helpful. Then I could `include_recipe "rvm::system" and have RVM installed, but without any default RVM rubies/gems that I don't need.

Don't require full ruby version info

When I don't explicitly set the ruby version info like:

      "rubies": [
        "jruby"
      ],

It outputs the following warning and doesn't install the ruby:

WARN: rvm_ruby[jruby] is either not fully qualified or not known . Uservm list knownto get a full list.

It appears you must explicitly set the version number. This works:

      "rubies": [
        "jruby-1.6.3"
      ],

It would be handy to be able to reference the ruby without version number and let rvm default to the most recent version -- what rvm install jruby would do.

latest rvm: install via gem command needs 'exec' (or 'do')

Just a heads up really. Latest RVM has changed the implicit exec to explicit, as in...

from:

rvm ruby-1.9.2-p290@global gem install rspec -q --no-rdoc --no-ri

to:

rvm ruby-1.9.2-p290@global exec gem install rspec -q --no-rdoc --no-ri

I think I changed the correct area in libraries/rvm_rubygems_package.rb

def install_via_gem_command(name, version)
src = @new_resource.source &&
" --source=#{@new_resource.source} --source=http://rubygems.org"

      cmd = %{rvm #{ruby_strings.join(',')} exec #{gem_binary_path}}
      cmd << %{ install #{name} -q --no-rdoc --no-ri -v "#{version}"}
      cmd << %{#{src}#{opts}}

...

and the same for uninstall

However, according to the RVM guys (rvm/rvm#487 (comment)) 'exec' is changing to 'do'

rvm_shell not setting environment variables on system install

Hi,

I am using the system based install and no individual user rvm. I am trying to run a command that depends on the correct HOME environment variable being set as the user running the command. However, I am finding $HOME is set to the home of the user running the chef-client command. For example:

rvm_shell "a command" do
code "echo $HOME > /tmp/env.txt"
user "chris"
end

then suppose I start my chef-client run with rvmsudo as user "ubuntu"

this command will output with the text "/home/ubuntu", when I would expect it to be "/home/chris".

So I dug into the code and modified providers/shell.rb and changed lines 80-85 to:
if new_resource.user && new_resource.environment
environment({ 'USER' => new_resource.user, 'HOME' => user_home }.merge(
new_resource.environment))
elsif new_resource.user
environment({ 'USER' => new_resource.user, 'HOME' => user_home })
end

Anyhow, I'm not sure if that is the correct fix, but it did the trick for me.

Speed up install by disabling RDOC generation

I've noticed that a lot of CPU time and memory is used by a long time in:

./ruby -rpurelib.rb ./bin/rdoc --all --ri --op .ext/rdoc .

Maybe it would be great to disable RDOC generation from the beggining for make the install process faster... What do you think?

Add example of local gem source installation in README

Pretty straight forward but useful to know that this is possible.

Let gem_package recognize multiple environments

Setting @node[:rvm][:gem_package][:rvm_string] = 'system,ruby-1.9.2' will allow gem_package to install to two environments simultaneously. However, it breaks the detection of environments that allows this to be idempotent.

Chef::Provider::Package::RVMRubygems::AlternateGemEnvironment

I am attempting to use this recipe in rightscale which uses chef 0.8.16.8. I am getting this error at convergence:

*ERROR> An error occurred during the execution of Chef. The error message was:

uninitialized constant Chef::Provider::Package::RVMRubygems::AlternateGemEnvironment

Looks like libraries/rvm_rubygems_package.rb is having issues, possibly with such an old version of chef?

failing to install rvm using knife ec2 server create

I've been working on this one for a few hrs and I just hate to file this bug report (you'll see why in a minute).

in summary, using your latest chef-rvm cookbook, and all the latest chef gems, I load up a bare bones instance using:

knife ec2 server create -r "role[webapp_server]" -I ami-3202f25b -G default --ssh-key sweetspot-keypair -f 't1.micro' -x ubuntu

where webapp_server just installs a few basic recipes and then fails at the rvm recipe.

when I run the above command, I get:

tracing through this code, it looks like it is failing deep within RVM, which is trying to YAML.load output which includes all the text from this file:

https://github.com/opscode/chef/blob/master/chef/lib/chef/knife/bootstrap/ubuntu10.04-gems.erb

If I go in and manually run chef-client, it doesn't fail here (it fails because of another outstanding issue which regressed from rvm 1.6.5).

so huh!! I'm not sure what the best path is. I'm very tempted to go through and provide a patch for your helpers.rb that removes all the calls to RVM.*, like RVM.list_known_strings (which is where this specific error is occuring) with something like
rvm list known_strings.strip.split.sort

I have run into issues with RVM (and bundler) before, and that was a tough one to figure out and patch, so I'm a bit loath to touch that code base again! ;) Any thoughts?

thanks!

Cannot edit default.gems, no versions in global.gems

Currently, there's no mechanism (that I can find) in chef-rvm for automatically writing to your default.gems, and the mechanism for global.gems appears flawed. default.gems appears to be getting generated as the rvm defaults (which can wind up installing the wrong versions of rake and bundler), and global.gems is getting generated additively, so it contains the rvm defaults plus anything we've called with rvm_global_gem. Again, my use case is that I want specific, slightly old versions of bundler and rake, while rvm defaults to installing the newest ones.

Also, the entries added to global.gems don't include version number strings or source locations.

I'm currently reworking this for my purposes with templates instead, will pull request once I've got it working well if you're amenable.

node.rvm.upgrade = nil

Currently the documentation regarding the :upgrade option says "none" is for no upgrades.

In the spirit of using false and nil, the option for no upgrades should be nil with, optionally, false and "none" also supported.

rvm_gem resource fails to load RVM environment on initial pass

This is summarized by @yfeldblum in a comment for #14. The change was added to close #10 but clearly is not totally correct yet.

A copy of the comment text is included:

Additionally, once I do the above and have RVM installed and RVM rubies installed but no default RVM ruby (instead continuing to use system ruby as the default)....

When I follow up and do

rvm_gem "whatever" do
  ruby_string "ruby-1.9.2-p180" # that's one of the already-installed RVM rubies
end

then, in the same initial run of the my cookbook (which makes use of your RVM cookbook), I get

Add versioning and CHANGELOG

Since others are starting to play with this cookbook, then I want to be more careful with introducing any sweeping changes.

• Let's start to treat the cookbook like a ruby gem and update the version metadata field (possibly also tagging?)
• Add a changelog to track high level features and changes

rvm & Vagrant : NoMethodError: undefined method `keys' for []:Array

I'm eventually trying to set up a vagrant box to be used as a dev workstation. I'm new to vagrant & chef but not new to linux or rvm.
For the moment I'd just be happy to get a vagrant box running with rvm. I think I've got rvm configured the way I want in my Vagrantfile, but running it produces the above error. I'm fairly sure this is a user error, I haven't understood or configured something correctly but digging into the code that produced the stacktrace hasn't produced anything useful for me.
I've gisted my Vagrantfile & the full stacktrace that chef-solo produces.

homedir for rvm user

For setting up user rvm, it seems that by default your cookbook looks for the user's homedir to be in /home. What is the option/attribute I need to set to specify this explicitly?
