[chef-dev] CHEF Code Review 27 November 2013

[Steven Danna < >]

Hi all,

For those in the US, we hope you enjoy the holiday!  Code review notes below.

* Reopen

  - CHEF-3531 data bags searched by the 'users' cookbook can't have
    dots in the value for 'id'

    Needs tests

  - CHEF-4731 Stopping a non-existent Windows Service Causes Exception

    Needs tests

  - CHEF-4760 knife diagnostic messages sent to stdout instead of stderr

    We agree with the sentiment but chaning all info messages to go to
    stderr will break the desired behavior in a few casses.

  - CHEF-4212 Allow knife-bootstrap to download from places other than
    opscode.com

    We couldn't find the fix.

  - CHEF-4774 knife bootstrap with use-sudo-password fails when ssh
    password is not provided on command line

    Tests please.

* To Merge

  - CHEF-4784 Output formatter "doc" lacks information about handlers
  - CHEF-4358 Chef client fails when invoked with an empty environment
  - CHEF-4822 Remove unused instance variable startup_type from service 
resource
  - CHEF-2418 'knife ssh' should prompt for user password

    We'd like a small comment added to explain some tricky behavior.
    We'll add before merge if you can't get to it.

* Other

  - CHEF-4806 debian service not idempotent and ignoring S runlevel
    Looks good, but we want a Debian wizard to review.  Left as Fix Provided.

  -  CHEF-4782 chef service provider action "enable" not idempodent on
     ubuntu/debian

     This looks good but CHEF-4806 also fixes this and includes tests.
Left as Fix Provided.

Cheers,

Steven
