Ohai plugin deprication warning

[damacus]

/etc/chef/ohai_plugins/nginx.rb is a version 6 plugin this will be deprecated in future versions of ohai.

@damacus Thanks for the report.
Since Chef 10 (and thereby Ohai 6) is still widely used, we'd need to continue to keep this backwards compatible for a while.
Would you like to try creating a code change (and associated tests) for this?
See here: http://docs.getchef.com/ohai.html#ohai-6-vs-ohai-7-plugins for examples

No problem I'll see what I can come up with. Thanks for the links to the
new documentation.

Would you be open to creating 2 plugins and loading the correct version based on the version of Ohai present?

[miketheman]

@tas50 I am led to believe that using Ohai 7 plugins with Ohai 6 is compatible, obviating the need for two plugins and more switching logic.

I have not tested this yet.

Few thoughts that could get this moving. Perhaps it would be possible to use node attributes to choose which ohai plugin version to use? Another option - to detect chef version and to choose which type of nginx ohai plugin to load accordingly?

#422 includes a fix for this by shipping a v7 plugin on v7+ hosts

This particular issue has been pulled into the chef_nginx cookbook 2.8.0 release. The chef_nginx cookbook is a fork of this cookbook with many of the outstanding issues in the 2.7.6 release resolved. The release is backwards compatible with this cookbook outside of the name change, which obviously requires updating runlist and and metadata dependencies. I'd highly suggest giving it a try to see if this resolves you nginx cookbook woes.
