[chef] Re: Re: Berkshelf tossing "invalid ruby files" error on a cookbook?

[Morgan Blackthorne < >]

Blargh, I was trying to point everything on my system to use /opt/chef/embedded instead of the system ruby; I guess something snuck through the cracks.

What is the preferred way to work with Chef under OSX? Is there an RVM/rbenv/etc config that will use the omnibus install? I don't do much Ruby work on this system outside of Chef.

Morgan,

This looks like a Ruby 1.8.7 vs Ruby 1.9.3 syntax issue.

If you're using Ruby 1.8.7 locally to manage your chef environment,
some things may not work as expected, for instance foodcritic requires
Ruby 1.9 and above.

Many people writing spec files are writing them in Ruby 1.9 syntax,
and these are being included in the git source, vs a packaged tarball
on the community site which may exclude them (due to a chefignore or
such).

In any case, I'd personally recommend that you use a newer Ruby on
your workstation (and your servers) than 1.8.7.
