Chef/Deprecations/NodeSetUnless

The Cookstyle cops department: Chef/Deprecations

The node.set_unless method has been removed in Chef Infra Client 13 and usage must be replaced with node.normal_unless.

This cop will autocorrect code to use node.normal_unless, which is functionally identical to node.set_unless, but we also discourage the use of that method as normal level attributes persist on the node even if the code setting the attribute is later removed.

Examples

incorrect

node.set_unless['foo'] = true

correct

node.normal_unless['foo'] = true
