I'm developing a cookbook to deploy a simple ROR application. I write an app_helper.rb and put it into the libraries directory of my cookbook, here is the content: module AppHelper def self.find_gem if File.exists?("/usr/local/rvm/bin/rvm") return `/usr/local/rvm/bin/rvm default exec which gem`.chomp else return "/usr/bin/gem" end end end In the recipes/default.rb, I mix in the above module into Chef::Recipe class class Chef::Recipe include AppHelper end As you know, the find_gem function can be called from anywhere of the recipe. when I'm trying to use the find_gem function in my ruby_block

Some developers who have a good knowledge of querying SQL databases struggle to implement the equivalent query patterns in Cloudant/CouchDB. How can these developers translate their SQL knowledge to Cloudant/CouchDB? Chris Snow This community wiki page provides links to some SQL patterns showing how they may be implemented in Cloudant. As this is a community wiki feel free to add new Q&A links here. General database queries Joining two documents by key? How do I do the SQL equivalent of “DISTINCT” in CouchDB?
