Chef/Correctness/MacosUserdefaultsInvalidType

Cookstyle cops page

The Cookstyle cops department: Chef/Correctness

The macos_userdefaults resource prior to Chef Infra Client 16.3 would silently continue if invalid types were passed resulting in unexpected behavior. Valid values are: “array”, “bool”, “dict”, “float”, “int”, and “string”.

Examples

# bad
macos_userdefaults 'set a value' do
  global true
  key 'key'
  type 'boolean'
end

# good
macos_userdefaults 'set a value' do
  global true
  key 'key'
  type 'bool'
end
