OpsWorks Chef：由于旧的Ruby（1.8.7），无法编译yum食谱

Question

I know in OpsWorks, Ruby version can be changed using custom Chef JSON like one in this topic .

But the problem is, before the new Ruby is installed, the default one (1.8.7) is used to compiled cookbooks. And Ruby version 1.8.7 cannot understand this code style ( see here ):

name: 'value',

I think it only accepts this style:

:name => "value",

Any suggestion to solve this?

Thank you.

UPDATE #1:

A temporary workaround for this: I checked out an older version of the yum cookbook , where the code is still valid for old Ruby.

UPDATE #2:

If I could use Chef-embedded Ruby then problem will be solved. Could anyone show how to use that embedded Ruby version? Thank you.

Answer 1

I think the ruby version sethvargo references above is not the one that AWS uses for the Chef run. That is the ruby version that will be used for the Rails layer. According to this issue https://github.com/aws/opsworks-cookbooks/issues/50 AWS is apparently running Chef11 on Ruby 1.8.7

Answer 2

根据Amazon OpsWorks文档 ，您可以指定版本，OpsWorks将使用：

node.set['ruby']['full_version'] = '1.9.3'

Answer 3

OpsWorks现在支持Chef 11.10，Ruby 2.0，berkshelf，数据包和搜索-这应该可以解决您的问题http://aws.typepad.com/aws/2014/03/aws-opsworks-now-supports-chef-1110。 HTML
