It would be nice to ask LWRP to delete interface.d file and ifdown specified interface.

Some warnings that the cookbook will break in near future versions.

👻 Brief Description

The template for the interfaces contains @method variable but it is not set anywhere. We set @type which is unused.

I believe the problem was introduced with the change at 22520e9 : the template should have kept using @type as it already was.

🥞 Cookbook version

Current latest git: 2baefb3

👩‍🍳 Chef-Infra Version

16.12.3

🎩 Platform details

Ubuntu 18.04

Steps To Reproduce

include_recipe "network_interfaces"

network_interfaces "lo" do
  type 'loopback'
end

🚓 Expected behavior

We should get iface lo inet loopback. Instead, the type is ignored.

Sorry to bug you again, thanks for the quick response last time!

I was wondering if it's possible to have multiple values such as for up/down? The easiest I guess would be to have them as an array? but they are strings.

Json:
"down": "ip r d 172.22.0.0/16 via 10.1.0.1 dev eth0",
"down": "ip r d 10.19.0.0/16 via 10.1.0.2 dev eth0"

Gives me only the first value.

"down": ["ip r d 172.22.0.0/16 via 10.1.0.1 dev eth0", "ip r d 10.19.0.0/16 via 10.1.0.2 dev eth0"]

Gives me "Option down must be a kind of String! You passed ["ip r d 172.22.0.0/16 via 10.1.0.1 dev eth0", "ip r d 10.19.0.0/16 via 10.1.0.2 dev eth0"]."

Documentation is quite poor for now.

Hello,

first of, thanks for tackling the problem of handling /e/n/interfaces using Chef, this really fills a need.

One issue I noticed using Ubuntu 12.04: it won't find the cookbook_file for this platform, since it's not looking for it in files/debian{,-6}/ but in files/ubuntu{,-12.04}/ and files/default. Moving files/debian/interfaces to files/default/ works for Ubuntu 12.04 and I think it's then the intended behavior.

Thanks again,
Stephan

Hi!

Thanks for the cookbook, I just seem to be running into a weird issue. I am running the code in the ReadMe example. I get the same error no matter what I try.

ERROR: resource template[/etc/network/interfaces.d/br-test] is configured to notify resource ruby_block[Merge interfaces] with action create, but ruby_block[Merge interfaces] cannot be found in the resource collection. template[/etc/network/interfaces.d/br-test] is defined in /etc/chef/chef-solo-1/cookbooks/network_interfaces/providers/default.rb:37:in `block in class_from_file'

Is this something with my setup or the cookbook?

🙍🏻 Problem Statement

The line dependency being used is at some ancient version. If user specifies their own version, we fail to resolve:

- `line (~> 2.9)` required by `user-specified dependency`
…
- `line (~> 0.6.1)` required by `network_interfaces-1.0.2`
- `line (>= 2.0.0)` required by `nfs-2.6.0`

❔ Possible Solution

Widen the bounds on line.

Using own patched fork.

This is not in line with the Apache 2.0 license stated in your metadata.rb. Could you please clarify this? Only then I (and anyone not being you) would be able to use this cookbook which actually looks rather awesome :)

network_interfaces-cookbook/providers/default.rb is missing a line that sets the gateway, patch:
