How can I validate if I am running in Chef-Zero mode? about chef-zero

[sethvargo]

I would recommend controlling that action (adding to the AD) with an attribute instead of checking what type of Chef you're running. Then override that attribute in the Vagrantfile

@JCosta how are you using Chef Zero? It functions as a full Chef Server, so you shouldn't need these types of conditionals.

If you need to check, you can look at Chef::Config[:chef_server_url] and see if it contains 127.0.0.1, or you can connect and look at the Server header (which has chef-zero in it).

But right now, chef isn't actually IN a different "mode." For all it knows, it's talking to a full Chef server. And there shouldn't ever be any functional way to tell the difference.

My base role is joining my VM to the domain, since I'm doing vagrant
destroy/up/provision a billion times a day, I end up with a gazillion
machines in AD.
I would like to avoid running a set of recipes by validating if this
particular chef-run is a chef-zero run.

Currently I am adding json attributes to my vagrantfile, and checking for
those "chef-zero" values inside my recipes.

Checking the chef_server_url is likely to be enough.
Thanks
