CookStyle Cops - Chef/Effortless Section

ChefVaultUsed

The complete name of the cop is: Chef/Effortless/ChefVaultUsed

ChefVaultUsed is a cookstyle cop that is not enabled by default and does not support autocorrection. It is a cop that can be used in all chef versions. 

This cop isn’t supported in the Effortless pattern, so the operation of ChefVault must be shifted to a different secrets management solution before capitalizing on the Effortless pattern. 

Examples of incorrect usage of ChefVaultUsed:

require 'chef-vault'


#### incorrect

```ruby

ChefVault::Item

#### incorrect


```ruby

Include_recipe 'chef-vault'


#### incorrect

```ruby

chef_gem 'chef-vault'


#### incorrect

```ruby

chef_vault_item_for_environment(arg, arg1)


#### incorrect

```ruby


chef_vault_item(arg, arg1)
