Class Method Details

.action(name, description: nil, &block) ⇒ void

This method returns an undefined value.

Defines an action method on the provider, running the block to compile the resources, converging them, and then checking if any were updated (and updating new-resource if so)

Parameters:

  • name (String, Symbol) —

    Name of the action to define.

  • description (String) (defaults to: nil) —

    description of the action

  • block (Proc) —

    Body of the action.

Since:

  • 13.0

end

.include_resource_dsl? ⇒ Boolean

Include attributes, public and protected methods from this Resource in the provider.

If this is set to true, delegate methods are included in the provider so that you can call (for example) ‘attrname` and it will call `new_resource.attrname`.

The actual include does not happen until the first time the Provider is instantiated (so that we don’t have to worry about load order issues).

Parameters:

  • include_resource_dsl (Boolean) —

    Whether to include resource DSL or not (defaults to ‘false`).

Returns:

  • (Boolean)

.include_resource_dsl_module(resource) ⇒ Object

.use(partial) ⇒ Object

Use a partial code fragment. This can be used for code sharing between multiple resources.

Do not wrap the code fragment in a class or module. It also does not support the use of super to subclass any methods defined in the fragment, the methods will just be overwritten.

Parameters:

#converge_if_changed(*properties, &converge_block) ⇒ Boolean

Handle patchy convergence safely.

  • Does not call the block if the current_resource’s properties match the properties the user specified on the resource.

  • Calls the block if current_resource does not exist

  • Calls the block if the user has specified any properties in the resource whose values are different from current_resource.

  • Does not call the block if why-run is enabled (just prints out text).

  • Prints out automatic green text saying what properties have changed.

Parameters:

  • properties —

    An optional list of property names (symbols). If not specified, ‘new_resource.class.state_properties` will be used.

  • converge_block —

    The block to do the converging in.

Returns:

  • (Boolean) —

    whether the block was executed.
