knife cookbook upload chef-rvm fails

[gangster]

Hi. I am very new (~1 day) to Chef so this in fact may not be a bug and may be user error. With that said, when I try to upload the Cookbook up to opscode, I get the following error

$ knife cookbook upload chef-rvm
ERROR: Chef::Exceptions::ValidationFailed: Option type must be equal to one of: string, array, hash, symbol! You passed "boolean".

It would appear the offending code is in metadata.rb:

attribute "rvm/install_rubies",
:display_name => "Can enable or disable installation of a default ruby and additional rubies set attribute metadata.",
:description => "Can enable or disable installation of a default ruby and additional rubies set attribute metadata. The primary use case for this attribute is when you don't want any rubies installed (but you want RVM installed).",
:type => "boolean",
:default => true

Any ideas on how to get around it? I tried changing :type to "string" and :default to "true" but for my troubles all I got was:

Uploading chef-rvm [0.6.0]
ERROR: EOFError: end of file reached

Sorry, you're totally correct. I've updated this attribute value to "true" or "false" strings. Still getting the hang of valid cookbook metadata, thank you for the heads up!

I downloaded the latest version (0.7.0) and experiencing the same problem as @gangster:
> knife cookbook upload chef-rvm Uploading chef-rvm [0.7.0] ERROR: EOFError: end of file reached

I'm using Chef 0.10. if it helps.

Just tracked it down. The README.md appears too long to be included in metadata.rb. I'll push an update to fix.

Thanks! It worked.
