Deprecation: “Supports” metaproperty (CHEF-8)¶
The user
resource previously allowed a cookbook author to set policy for the resource in two ways. The supports
metaproperty, which is now deprecated, enabled the manage_home
and non_unique
properties to be set.
The supports
metaproperty was deprecated in Chef 12.14 and will be removed in Chef 13.
Example¶
user "betty" do
supports({
manage_home: true,
non_unique: true
})
end
Remediation¶
Make the manage_home
and non_unique
settings properties rather than parts of the supports
hash.
user "betty" do
manage_home true
non_unique true
end
