Chef Foodcritic

Foodcritic is a static linting tool that analyzes all of the Ruby code that is authored in a cookbook against a number of rules, and then returns a list of violations. The code in a cookbook is read, broken down, and then compared to Foodcritic rules.

Foodcritic does not validate the intention of a recipe, rather it evaluates the structure of the code, and helps specific behavior, detect portability of recipes, identify potential run-time failures, and spot common anti-patterns.

Use Foodcritic to check cookbooks for common problems:

*Style

*Correctness

*Syntax

*Best practices

*Common mistakes

*Deprecations

The foodcritic command is used to run Foodcritic against one (or more) cookbooks.

Foodcritic is run from the command line, typically against a single cookbook and all of the Ruby files contained within it

# foodcritic.
