[chef] [announce] Kitchen Inspector 1.1.0

[Stefano Tortarolo < >]

Ohai everyone!

I just released Kitchen Inspector v.1.1.0 [1].

Kitchen Inspector is a CLI tool that checks cookbook's metadata.rb against a Chef Server and a Repository Manager (GitLab & GitHub are supported at this stage).

It was initially inspired by Kannan Manickam's Chef Taste, but the focus is quite different.

Its aim is to provide a simple way to help cookbook authors detect version mismatches, out of date requirements, etc...

Some of the inconsistencies it detects:

* repository has a tag that doesn't match its metadata's version

* a specified dependency is not available on Chef Server/Repository Manager

* Chef Server and Repository Manager are not aligned

A more thorough list is described on its README.md [2].

Kitchen Inspector is available on RubyGems so you can check it out with:

  $ gem install kitchen-inspector

Feedback is more than welcome.

Cheers,

Stefano
