Usage

Place a dependency on the mysql cookbook in your cookbook's metadata.rb

depends 'mysql2_chef_gem'

Then, in a recipe:

mysql2_chef_gem 'default' do
  action :install
end

2.0 Compatibility

In order to ensure compatibility with Chef 13, the 2.0 release of this cookbook changed the method used to specify installation against mariadb. Instead of specifying the underlying provider, you instead reference the mariadb specific resource. See the example below for the new syntax.

Resources Overview

mysql2_chef_gem

The mysql2_chef_gem resource installs mysql client development dependencies and installs the mysql2 rubygem into Chef's Ruby environment.

Example

mysql2_chef_gem 'default' do
  gem_version '0.4.5'
  action :install
end

Properties

• gem_version - The version of the mysql Rubygem to install into the Chef environment. Defaults to '0.4.5' connector libraries
• package_version - The version of the mysql client libraries to install and link against

Actions

• :install - Build and install the gem into the Chef environment
• :remove - Delete the gem from the Chef environment

mysql2_chef_gem_mariadb

To install the mysql2 gem against an installation of mariadb reference the mysql2_chef_gem_mariadb resource directly. This resource includes all the same properties of the standard mysql2_chef_gem resource.

mysql2_chef_gem_mariadb 'default' do
  action :install
end
