[chef] Re: Re: Inserting multiple lines through Chef::Util::FileEdit

[Joseph Bowman < >]

I've had to do this a lot recently starting to set up our base builds as we move to chef. I've just used embedded bash scripts to get the results I've needed. This is just taking an example from you original email, please check for typos and such before using it. I wrote it out in this email, so it's completely untested.

bash "update_fstab" do

  code <<-EOH

    EBS_VOL_DEV_CHECK = $(grep '#{node['mysql']['ebs_vol_dev']} /' /etc/fstab | wc -l)

    if [ $EBS_VOL_DEV_CHECK -lt 0 ]; then

      echo '#{node['mysql']['ebs_vol_dev']} #{node['mysql']['mount_point']} #{node['mysql']['formatting']} noatime 0 0' >> /ec/fstab

    fi

  EOH

end

You'd want to update the code block for each instance. I used this to manage files fstab, hosts and such. Albeit I'm much more comfortable with bash than ruby.

Ive never used fileedit before. You should just use a template to render out the file as you need.  It will likely solve your problem.
