recipe[rbenv::system_install] not adding to .bashrc

[axsuul]

The recipe works good with installing ruby and setting the default ruby version, however, it doesn't append the PATH and rbenv init to my /etc/bash.bashrc. I'm still new to chef, so do I need to use a separate provider to do this? I see that there is a script provider that appears to do this.

I'm on Ubuntu 11.10

The rbenv::system_install recipe should create a /etc/profile.d/rbenv.sh file which gets sourced from /etc/profile (https://github.com/fnichol/chef-rbenv/blob/master/recipes/system_install.rb#L29-33 and https://github.com/fnichol/chef-rbenv/blob/master/templates/default/rbenv.sh.erb). When you log in does it not have rbenv in your PATH with which rbenv?

Hi,

The file you mentioned is indeed created and I can access rbenv after I log back in. Is there anyway to make the variables in this file available without logging back in? At the moment my cookbook installs rbenv using this cookbook and then goes on to execute other commands with require gems installed using rbenv, however as the PATH has not been amended I cannot see the install gems without calling source /etc/profile.d/rbenv.sh. It also means other cookbooks which rely on the version of ruby being used don't work i.e. passenger_apache2.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for the great cookbook.

Hi all, pull request #8 was merged in and should address this. If that's not the case, then please reopen. Thanks!
