RVM string cache problem (in rvm_shell) about rvm

[fnichol]

Oh right, there are two notions of user in this resource:

• A non-nil value denoting a per-user install
• The user to run the script as

And in a lot of cases these two don't overlap.

If you wanted to run bundle install on a system-wide install with the vagrant and another bundle install on a user install for jenkins, which form do you think is clearer:

a)

rvm_shell "bundle install" do
  user "vagrant"
end

rvm_shell "bundle install" do
  rvm_user "jenkins"
end

b)

rvm_shell "bundle install" do
  shell_user "vagrant"
end

rvm_shell "bundle install" do
  user "jenkins"
end

c)
An alternative?

I found a way to keep the user attribute as is, but fall back to system wide if they don't have a user RVM installed (as you suggested). Push coming...

@jonleighton thanks for pointing out this issue. If I didn't quite solve your problem, please reopen.

Thanks, I'll check this stuff out next week when I return to the project I am using chef-rvm on. Cheers!
