command_line_tools

The command_line_tools resource manages the state of a single Xcode Command Line Tools installation, and will only install the latest version for the current running version of macOS.

Syntax

command_line_tools 'name' do # defaults to '' if not specified
  compile_time true, false # defaults to false if not specified
  action Symbol # defaults to :install if not specified
end

where:

  • command_line_tools is the resource.
  • name is the name given to the resource block, which is optional.
  • action identifies which steps the chef-client will take to bring the node into the desired state.
  • compile_time is the property available to this resource.

Actions

The command_line_tools resource has the following actions:

:install

      Default. Install Command Line Tools from Apple. Takes no action if any version has previously been installed on the system, unless that version has been deleted, in which case it will attempt to install that version again.

:upgrade

      Check for an updated version of Command Line Tools and install them, unless the latest version is already installed.

:nothing

      This resource block does not act unless notified by another resource to take action. Once notified, this resource block either runs immediately or is queued up to run at the end of the Chef Client run.

Properties

compile_time

      Ruby Type: true, false | Default Value: false

      Install the Xcode Command Line Tools at compile time.

Examples
