Ability to run verifiers as sudo

[raldred]

Some verifiers fail because you need to be a privileged user. I can't seem to see any way to make the has_apt verifier work.

I'm running as a non-privileged user with full sudo.

At the moment i'm getting Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13: Permission denied)

Same applies for other verifiers such as:

verify do
  file_contains '/home/bind-sync/.ssh/authorized_keys', File.open(File.join(keydir, 'sync-key.pub')).read
end

** [out :: server.net] grep: /home/bind-sync/.ssh/authorized_keys
** [out :: server.net] : Permission denied

What distro is this? I just tried quickly on Ubuntu Lucid and dpkg --status works fine as an unprivileged user… so it might be your using a super paranoid distro or something that most other users haven't run into. has_apt is code that has been in Sprinkle a long time. That won't help your other example though.

Im using Ubuntu 12.04 minimal. I'll do some more digging, thanks for your reply. On 2 Dec 2013 21:58, "Josh Goebel" notifications@github.com wrote:

Also, are you using SSH or Capistrano actors?

You know you can turn on sudo at the Capistrano level, right?

[raldred]

You have to set :run_method to :sudo.

@yyyc514 sudo in devliery still doesn't work for me either, I think @delivery is set to nil when installer and verifier commands are evaluated and @delivery is set only later, my workaround currently is to use use_sudo true at package level.

[joshgoebel]

Shouldn't matter… sudo is added later inside the Actor if it isn't detected in the command string… if you've set the settings properly. For Capistrano setting run_method to :sudo in your Capfile or whatever should make everything run as sudo… if not please post the exact code you're using and a verbose debug output.

Should be resolved by 37dd29aaaa083c6508029e67220751e3cbc805f3.

I'll push a new gem shortly.
