Guard::Knife
Knife guard allows to update cookbooks, data bags, environments, and roles automatically when files are modified.
It differs from Guard::Chef in that it does not depend on activesupport and it uses knife directly instead of relying on some rake tasks being around.
Install
Please be sure to have Guard installed before continuing.
Install the gem:
$ gem install guard-knife
Add it to your Gemfile
gem 'guard-knife'
Add guard definition to your Guardfile by running this command:
$ guard init knife
Guardfile
guard 'knife' do
watch(%r{^cookbooks/.+$})
watch(%r{^data_bags/.+$})
watch(%r{^environments/.+$})
watch(%r{^roles/.+$})
end
Options
By default Guard::Knife uses your ~/.chef/knife.rb. To use a different
configuration file, use the :config option:
guard 'knife', :config => '~/.chef/other_knife_config.rb' do
# ...
end
