[chef] Writing a first library

[Andrey Brindeyev < >]

Hi, everybody!

I'm trying to write my first library in Chef 11.18.0 (chef-solo) and using this article as an example:

https://www.chef.io/blog/2014/03/12/writing-libraries-in-chef-cookbooks/

However, this piece of code isn't working for me:

libraries/sensitives_helper.rb:

1. require 'chef/mixin/shell_out'
2.  
3. module SensitivesHelper
4.  
5.   include Chef::Mixin::ShellOut
6.  
7.   def self.retrieve_token(type, version)
8.     Chef::Log.info "Retrieving sensitive for token #{type}, version #{version}"
9.     cmd = shell_out!('/usr/local/bin/get-sensitives.sh', type, version)
10.     Chef::Log.info "Retrieved sensitive token: #{cmd.stdout}"
11.     cmd.stdout
12.   end
13.  
14. end
15.  
16. Chef::Recipe.send(:include, SensitivesHelper)

When I try to use it in recipe, it's causing NoMethodError: undefined method `shell_out!' for SensitivesHelper:Module

Usage example:

user = ''

ruby_block "get sensitives" do

  block do

    user = SensitivesHelper.retrieve_token('a', 'b')

  end

end

Any help is appreciated.
