Supermarket Belongs to the Community

Supermarket belongs to the community. While Chef has the responsibility to keep it running and be stewards of its functionality, what it does and how it works is driven by the community. The chef/supermarket repository will continue to be where development of the Supermarket application takes place. Come be part of shaping the direction of Supermarket by opening issues and pull requests or by joining us on the Chef Mailing List.

Build Status
GitHub Issues

The following recipes are available for configuring Internet Explorer:

  • BFCache - Enable/Disable IE Feature Back-Forward Cache
  • ESC - Enable/Disable IE Enhanced Security Configuration
  • FirstRun - Enable/Disable IE 8 & 9 First Run Set Up Pop-up
  • Zone - Configure IE Security Zones; Local Home, Internet, Local Internet, Trusted Sites, and Restricted Sites

A ie_version method is also available to retrieve the exact version of Internet Explorer installed.

Tested against:

  • IE 11 on Windows Server 2012 R2
  • IE 10 on Windows Server 2012
  • IE 9 on Windows Server 2008 R1 SP2

Requirements

  • Chef 11.6.0 or higher (includes a built-in registry_key resource)

Platforms

Usage

See ie_test cookbook for examples.
Include ie as a dependency to make ie_version method available. Note that there is no default recipe.

A library method ie_version is provided to retrieve the IE version installed:

v = ie_version

Tip: use allow_any_instance_of to stub ie_version method when testing with rspec:

allow_any_instance_of(Chef::Recipe).to receive(:ie_version).and_return('11.0.0.0')
