Method: Chef::Resource.chef_version_for_provides

Defined in:
lib/chef/resource.rb

.chef_version_for_provides(constraint = NOT_PASSED) ⇒ Object

This API can be used for backcompat to do:

chef_version_for_provides “< 14.0” if defined?(:chef_version_for_provides)

For core chef versions that do not support chef_version: in provides lines.

Since resource_name calls provides the generally correct way of doing this is to do chef_version_for_provides first, then resource_name and then any additional options provides lines.

Once we no longer care about supporting chef < 14.4 then we can deprecate this API.

Parameters:

  • arg (String) —

    version constraint to match against (e.g. “> 14”)
