Chef::Cookbook::Metadata#valid?

Whether this metadata is valid. In order to be valid, all required
fields must be set. Chef's validation implementation checks the content
of a given field when setting (and raises an error if the content does
not meet the criteria), so the content of the fields is not considered
when checking validity.

=== Returns
valid<Boolean>:: Whether this metadata object is valid
