Overview

Provider Resolution

Provider resolution is the process of taking a Resource object and an action, and determining the Provider class that should be instantiated to handle the action.

If the resource has its provider set, that is used.

Otherwise, we take the lists of Providers that have registered as providing the DSL through provides :dsl_name, <filters> or Chef.set_resource_priority_array :dsl_name, <filters>. We filter each list of Providers through:

  1. The filters it was registered with (such as os: 'linux' or platform_family: 'debian')
  2. provides?(node, resource)
  3. supports?(resource, action)

Anything that passes the filter and returns true to provides and supports, is considered a match. The first matching Provider in the most recently registered list is selected and returned.

#supported_handlers ⇒ Object

This method is part of a private API. You should avoid using this method if possible, as it may be removed or be changed in the future.

TODO deprecate this and allow actions to be passed as a filter to provides so we don't have to have two separate things.
