Berkshelf requires missing from spork actions checking if Berkshelf is defined

[jperry]

Missing requires but the -b option still doesn't show up for me when the two exist in the Gemfile. Any ideas?

gonna defer this one to @sethvargo to have a look at - he's done most of spork's berkshelf integration as we don't use it

[sethvargo]

Can't we do this once somewhere?

[jonlives]

Having the require in the runner ought to be enough - no idea about the -b option though, I'm guessing that would have to be added to the spork commands manually.

[sethvargo]

You would need to delegate the CLI option for the Berksfile constructor. @jperry I would recommend you use the BERKSFILE_PATH environment variable instead. @jonlives I think this is outside of the scope of spork

[jperry]

moved to runner. @sethvargo - I'll try the BERKSFILE_PATH to see if that works.

@sethvargo - the env variable didn't help with knife spork. Either way I have berkshelf currently managing my community cookbooks as well as our repo with all out cookbooks. We like using knife spork at the moment to notify hipchat when uploading cookbooks to the chef server. Maybe I'll just change out CI server to just send this message for us for the time being. I'll try and look at the code to see if I can fix spork to work better with berkshekd

I just pushed the changes to require 'berkshelf' and fix the options. I tried moving the require into the runner but the way chef loads the files it has to be in each file. Otherwise we move the require into another file and do a require to that for each of the ones l changed.

In addition the code using Berkshelf in the runner.rb is no longer valid for Berkshelf3. I tried getting it to work but I couldn't get berkshelf to tell me the location of the dependency using berksfile.lockfile.retrieve(dependency) as it fails to find the location of the dependency here. Any ideas?

[jperry]

Ignore my comment above about not being able to retrieve the location. It was due to me setting the BERKSFILE_PATH which was screwing things up. I removed and all is better. I'll push more changes as I get it working.
