Updating version does not update the binary about chef-consul-template HOT 8 CLOSED

Yeah, I believe that is due to using the 'creates' attribute with the 'cherry_pick' action in the ark resource - https://github.com/adamkrone/chef-consul-template/blob/master/recipes/install_binary.rb#L32

using 'creates', keeps the extraction from running every time, since it checks for existence of file.

To handle updates, ark :install should probably be used to install to a versioned path and use a symlink to the binary.

That or do version checking of the consul-template library.

Nice catch @ccannell67 !

Going to ping @someara @sigje @tas50,

Should I open an issue in ark ?

from chef-consul-template.

It sounds like we should be symlinking, or using our own guard, as @ccannell67 mentioned.

I should have some time over the holidays to take a look at this, but feel free to submit a PR if you'd like to take a stab at it.

@scalp42 I just merged some changes into master that updates the way binaries are downloaded/extracted/etc. I moved away from ark, and it's now using a symlink.

Let me know if this fixes things for you. If everything checks out, I will be releasing a new version on the supermarket soon.

@adamkrone just saw that. Thanks for looking into it.

I'm hoping to tinker with it today or Tuesday!

Testing.

@adamkrone working great! Updated consul-template version itself and the chef-consul-template cookbook version at same time.

💯

Closing as it's fixed in master.
