A linting tool that helps you to write better Chef Infra cookbooks and InSpec profiles by detecting and automatically correcting style, syntax, and logic mistakes in your code.
I've found test-driven Cop development lends itself well to rapid feedback, and while I've hacked together nasty scripts up to now, a Guardfile that's set up for Cookstyle development would be mighty slick.
Motivation
As a Cookstyle developer working on a git checkout
I want to have Guard watch my changes
So that I can write high-quality Cops faster
Specification
Gemfile: optional gem group to install guard and guard-rake gems
Guardfile: watch for changes in /lib, kick off rspec (and maybe rubocop) runs as needed
Downstream Impact
Gem install is optional, so would not be an addition to chef-workstation. The guard gem is already packaged with chef-workstation, but guard-rake isn't, so that would have to be added to the omnibus/hab build stuff, and I don't want to create more work for @tpowell-progress :smile:
