Here is how to pass sensitive data to a template and yet make it easy to dynamically add non-sensitive attributes. Have non-sensitive attributes follow this pattern: node[‘cookbook’][‘collection’][‘value_1’] = ‘value1’ where collection contains a collection of one or more attributes (one level deep). e.g.,

default['mycookbook']['conf']['db_driver'] = 'com.mysql.jdbc.Driver'
default['mycookbook']['conf']['db_user'] = 'db_user'
default['mycookbook']['conf']['db_pass'] = nil

Next step is create a separate hash, e.g.,

git merge --no-commit <merge-branch>
git reset HEAD .travis.yml
git checkout -- .travis.yml
git commit -m 'merged <merge-branch>'

Sonar not only doesn't follow semantic versioning with their plugins, their documentation is also poor, and the beauty of simply selecting sonar as post-build action to get reports is gone (sorry Jenkins users!).

Here are the steps to get SonarQube to work today:

1. Remove SonarQube from Post-build Action
2. Select 'Prepare SonarQube Scanner environment' checkbox under Build Environment
3. Change Maven 'Goals and options' under Build to: clean org.jacoco:jacoco-maven-plugin:prepare-agent install

Windows development with Chef

General

Platform Version

You can use Ohai's node['platform_version'] version to determine the version, or use Windows Helpers (https://docs.chef.io/windows.html#helpers) to determine platform information. I would recommend using Ohai vs Windows Helpers because helpers will cause rspec testing issues. If you do use helpers, wrap the

I borrowed this script from Scott Bradley's wonderful blog "Provision and Bootstrap Windows EC2 Instances With Chef," making the following changes:

1. To make compatible with Windows Server 2012 R2, I added the following firewall rule to the powershell script section:

   netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="WinRM in" protocol=TCP dir=in profile=any localport=5985 remoteip=any localip=any action=allow

2. Used knife.rb instead of using AWS API credentials

3. Added security-group-ids and subnet flags to provision to ec2 VPC
