Chef run could use the habitat based chef-client if installed #91

Closed TheLunaticScripter closed 3 years ago

TheLunaticScripter commented 5 years ago

Describe the Enhancement:

Currently, under the effortless_config model, the chef-client is installed using habitat. To avoid having multiple versions of the chef-client installed. It would be nice if the chef-run was also able to detect that a habitat base version of the client was installed on the system and use it to run the cookbook.

Describe the Need:

This would allow customers who are using the effortless pattern to use habitat to manage the chef-client version on the system and also use chef run.

Current Alternative

This isn't really a huge problem as both tools can work independently of each other this is more a nice to have.

Can We Help You Implement This?:

I need to see where this fits on the priorities list but happy to help if needed. There is probably a larger strategic discussion that this is part of but not an immediate need.

Thank you for filling this Issue @TheLunaticScripter - We agree with the way you are phrasing this enhancement and would love to have it on future release(s), we will prioritize this work accordingly.

I'm going to close this one as being outside the scope right now. Since we want to support all platforms that omnibus runs on we can't use the effortless packages.
