[chef] Re: git branch questions

[Jeff Byrnes < >]

Jenn:

You’ll actually want to use something like this:

git '/opt/test' do
  repository 'git://github.com/Production/test.git'
  revision 'production'
  action :sync
  user 'test'
end

or this:

git '/opt/test' do
  repository 'git://github.com/Production/test.git'
  checkout_branch 'production'
  action :sync
  user 'test'
end

There’s no branch attribute, so you’re ending up with the default value for the checkout_branch attribute, which is deploy.

See the docs for the git resource’s attributes for more details.

Ohai,

I am using the following to check out code:

git '/opt/test' do
repository 'git://github.com/Production/test.git'
branch 'production'
action :sync
user ‘test'
end

this results in this:

test]# git branch
* deploy
staging


this command:

git clone -b production git://github.com/Production/test.git test2
test2]# git branch
* production

This is causing concern because the devs aren’t 100% sure if this the production branch or not. Is this normal? Did I miss something? Am I doing something wrong? I tried checkout_branch and get this:

undefined method `checkout_branch' for Chef::Resource::Git

Any help would be appreciated.
