Directory/file ownership conflicts

[tmonk42]

Since the release of 4.0.2, the default recipe sets ownership on the "conf.d" directory to "node["sensu"]["user"], then the client provider sets the ownership to "node["sensu"]["admin_user"]".

Expected Behavior

Systems using the default recipe and client provider should not change ownership on conf.d directory twice on every chef-client run. Both conf.d directory and client.json files should be owned by node["sensu"]["user"].

Current Behavior

• A wrapper cookbook includes sensu::default
• conf.d directory is set to owner node["sensu"]["user"] https://github.com/sensu/sensu-chef/blob/develop/recipes/default.rb#L51
• A wrapper cookbook creates a sensu_client resource
• conf.d/client.json file is created with no owner explicitly defined, providers/json_file.rb sets owner to node["sensu"]["admin_user"] on the file AND the directory in which it lives https://github.com/sensu/sensu-chef/blob/develop/providers/client.rb#L37 https://github.com/sensu/sensu-chef/blob/develop/providers/json_file.rb#L9

Possible Solution

Update client provider to explicitly set owner

Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)

Create a wrapper cookbook Include sensu::default define a sensu_client chef-client run

Context

Every chef-client run updates ownership on this directory twice. The client.json file is owned by admin_user instead of user.
