Method: Chef::Resource.action_class

Defined in:
lib/chef/resource.rb

.action_class(&block) ⇒ Object

The action class is a Chef::Provider which is created at Resource class evaluation time when the Custom Resource is being constructed.

This happens the first time the ruby parser hits an action or an action_class method, the presence of either indicates that this is going to be a Chef-12.5 custom resource. If we never see one of these directives then we are constructing an old-style Resource+Provider or LWRP or whatever.

If a block is passed, the action_class is always created and the block is run inside it.
