[chef-dev] Re: Any equivalent of "puppet augeas" in Chef?

[Ranjib Dey < >]

theres a line resource iirc and also fileedit, i dont know if anybody has written a native augeas binding. I was considering it for editing in place xml configs (because chef used internal dsl, building augeus like capabilities are trivial), but extending augeas is another pain (the lenses needs to be written in its own dsl ), afterwards i fall back to home grown nokogiri based in place xml_template file resource.

Hi there,

I need to do in-place file editing of config files using Chef. For now, i could
see that we can append data to the config files using the "bash" resource. But,
i need to change specific variables in config files using Chef.

I could see that there's a handy tool called augeas in puppet that clearly
performs the above requirement. But, i couldn't come up with anything in Chef.

So, is there any way this could be done in Chef?

Thanks in advance.
