Deprecation: Deprecation of lc_all from locale resource (CHEF-27)
Setting the LC_ALL
variable is NOT recommended. As a system-wide
setting, LANG
should provide the desired behavior. LC_ALL
is
intended to be used for temporarily troubleshooting issues rather than
an everyday system setting. Changing LC_ALL
can break Chef’s parsing
of command output in unexpected ways. Use one of the more specific LC_
properties as needed. This deprecation warning was added in Chef Infra
Client 15.0. Support for property lc_all
will be removed for Chef
Infra Client 16.0.
The Cookstyle cop ChefDeprecations/LocaleDeprecatedLcAllProperty has been introduced to detect and autocorrect this deprecation.
Remediation
Set LC_ALL
in current shell as:
export LC_ALL="<locale_name>"
To check the locale
value, run:
locale -v
You can also use file Resource and add this variable in any other file of your choice and then can source that file to reflect changes.
file "<path_to_file>" do
content "LC_ALL=<locale_name>"
end
Where path_to_file
could be any one of:
/etc/default/locale
/etc/sysconfig/i18n
/etc/environment
Setting LC_ variables varies by platform, but these are the common locations to configure LC_ variables.
