bryantebeek / chef-mailcatcher Goto Github PK

More of a question than a issue.

Any reason why the name field has upper case characters in metadata.rb?
This is the only cookbook I have come across with this and it has caused a few issues.

Eg in my metadata.rb I need to specify:

depends 'MailCatcher'

As the following returns errors

depends 'mailcatcher'

1. Cook a machine
2. Check mailcatcher works
3. Reboot it

Expected:
Mailcatcher should start when the machine starts

Actual:
Mailcatcher doesn';t start till you cook the machine again.

Mailcatcher has a dependency issues and the cookbook does not work anymore.
There is a fix on the mailcatcher github. It should be also fixed in this repository.

sj26/mailcatcher#277

Package is just "sqlite" rather than libsqlite3, so a simple

case node['platform_family']
 when "debian"
    package "sqlite"
 when "rhel", "fedora", "suse"
    package "libsqlite3-dev"
end

... should do the trick.

I have verified that after running 'apt-get install ruby-dev' I can now install mailcatcher successfully.

I am going to fork and add the ruby-dev package as a dependency. Just wanted to make an issue for this. A pull request will be coming your way shortly.
