Deprecation: Verify File Expansion (CHEF-7)

The verify metaproperty allows the user to specify a {path} variable that is expanded to the path of the file to be verified. Previously, it was possible to use {file} as the variable, but that is now deprecated.

The {file} expansion was deprecated in Chef Infra Client 12.5, and will be removed in Chef Infra Client 13.

Example

file '/etc/nginx.conf' do
  verify 'nginx -t -c %{file}'
end

Remediation

Replace %{file} with %{path}:

file '/etc/nginx.conf' do
  verify 'nginx -t -c %{path}'
end
