We memoize a sorted version of descendants so that resource lookups don't have to sort all the things, all the time. This was causing performance issues in test runs, and probably in real life as well.

Dynamic Method Handling

This class handles dynamic methods through the method_missing method

#method_missing(method_symbol, *args, &block) ⇒ Object

If an unknown method is invoked, determine whether the enclosing Provider's lexical scope can fulfill the request. E.g. This happens when the Resource's block invokes new_resource.

Class Method Details

.action(action, &recipe_block) ⇒ Object

Define an action on this resource.

The action is defined as a recipe block that will be compiled and then converged when the action is taken (when Resource is converged). The recipe has access to the resource's attributes and methods, as well as the Chef recipe DSL.

Resources in the action recipe may notify and subscribe to other resources within the action recipe, but cannot notify or subscribe to resources in the main Chef run.

Resource actions are inheritable: if resource A defines action :create and B is a subclass of A, B gets all of A's actions. Additionally, resource B can define action :create and call super() to invoke A's action code.

The first action defined (besides :nothing) will become the default action for the resource.

Parameters:

  • name (Symbol) —

    The action name to define.

  • recipe_block —

    The recipe to run when the action is taken. This block takes no parameters, and will be evaluated in a new context containing:

    • The resource's public and protected methods (including attributes)
    • The Chef Recipe DSL (file, etc.)
    • super() referring to the parent version of the action (if any)

Returns:

  • The Action class implementing the action

  default_action action if Array(default_action) == [:nothing]
end

.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 indiates 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 whatevs.

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

Parameters:

  • actions (Array<Symbol>) —

.default_action(action_name = NOT_PASSED) ⇒ Array<Symbol>

The action that will be run if no other action is specified.

Setting default_action will automatially add the action to allowed_actions, if it isn't already there.

Defaults to [:nothing].

Parameters:

  • action_name (Symbol, Array<Symbol>) (defaults to: NOT_PASSED) —

    The default action (or series of actions) to use.

Returns:

  • (Array<Symbol>) —

.identity_attr(name = nil) ⇒ Symbol

Deprecated.

identity_property should be used instead.

Set a property as the "identity attribute" for this resource.

Identical to calling #identity_property.first.key.

Parameters:

  • name (Symbol) (defaults to: nil) —

    The name of the property to set.

Returns:

end

.identity_property(name = nil) ⇒ Symbol

Set the identity of this resource to a particular property.

This drives #identity, which returns data that uniquely refers to a given resource on the given node (in such a way that it can be correlated across Chef runs).

This method is unnecessary when declaring properties with property; properties can be added to identity during declaration with identity: true.

property :x, identity: true # part of identity
property :y # not part of identity

Parameters:

  • name (Symbol) (defaults to: nil) —

    A list of property names to set as the identity.

Returns:

  • (Symbol) —

    The identity property if there is only one; or nil if there are more than one.

Raises:

  • (ArgumentError) —

    If no arguments are passed and the resource has more than one identity property.

.is_custom_resource! ⇒ 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.

This sets the resource to being a custom resource, and does so in a way that automatically inherits to all subclasses via defining a method on the class (class variables and class instance variables don't have the correct semantics here, this is a poor man's activesupport class_attribute)

.load_current_value(&load_block) ⇒ Object

Define a method to load up this resource's properties with the current actual values.

Parameters:

  • load_block —

    The block to load. Will be run in the context of a newly created resource with its identity values filled in.

.provides(name, **options, &block) ⇒ Object

Mark this resource as providing particular DSL.

Resources have an automatic DSL based on their resource_name, equivalent to provides :resource_name (providing the resource on all OS's). If you declare a provides with the given resource_name, it replaces that provides (so that you can provide your resource DSL only on certain OS's).

.resource_for_node(short_name, node) ⇒ Object

Returns a resource based on a short_name and node

==== Parameters short_name:: short_name of the resource (ie :directory) nodeChef::Node:: Node object to look up platform and version in

  klass
end

.resource_matching_short_name(short_name) ⇒ Object

Returns the class with the given resource_name.

NOTE: Chef::Resource.resource_matching_short_name(:package) returns Chef::Resource::Package, while on rhel the API call Chef::Resource.resource_for_node(:package, node) will return Chef::Resource::YumPackage -- which is probably what you really want. This API should most likely be removed or changed to call resource_for_node.

==== Parameters short_name:: short_name of the resource (ie :directory)

=== Returns Chef::Resource:: returns the proper Chef::Resource class

.resource_name(name = NOT_PASSED) ⇒ Symbol

The display name of this resource type, for printing purposes.

This also automatically calls "provides" to provide DSL with the given name.

resource_name defaults to your class name.

Call resource_name nil to remove the resource name (and any corresponding DSL).

Parameters:

  • value (Symbol) —

    The desired name of this resource type (e.g. execute), or nil if this class is abstract and has no resource_name.

Returns:

  • (Symbol) —

    The name of this resource type (e.g. :execute).

property :x # part of desired state
property :y, desired_state: false # not part of desired state

Set or return the list of "state properties" implemented by the Resource subclass.

Equivalent to calling #state_properties and getting state_properties.keys.

Parameters:

  • names (Array<Symbol>) —

    A list of property names to set as desired state.

Returns:

  • (Array<Symbol>) —

    All property names with desired state.

    The Guard interpreter resource class/ symbol/name.

Returns:

  • (Class, Symbol, String) —

#ignore_failure ⇒ Object Also known as: epic_fail

Whether to ignore failures. If set to true, and this resource when an action is run, the resource will be marked as failed but no exception will be thrown (and no error will be output). Defaults to false.

TODO ignore_failure and retries seem to be mutually exclusive; I doubt that was intended.

Parameters:

  • arg (Boolean) —

    Whether to ignore failures.

Returns:

  self.class.resource_for_node(name, node).new("name", run_context).provider_for_action(action).class
end

#name ⇒ String

The name of this particular resource.

This special resource attribute is set automatically from the declaration of the resource, e.g.

execute 'Vitruvius' do command 'ls' end

Will set the name to "Vitruvius".

This is also used in to_s to show the resource name, e.g. execute[Vitruvius].

This is also used for resource notifications and subscribes in the same manner.

This will coerce any object into a string via #to_s. Arrays are a special case so that package ["foo", "bar"] becomes package[foo, bar] instead of the more awkward package[["foo", "bar"]] that #to_s would produce.

Parameters:

  • name (Object) —

    The name to set, typically a String or Array

Returns:

  • (String) —

    The name of this Resource.

# File 'lib/chef/resource.rb', line 87

property :name, String, coerce: proc { |v| v.is_a?(Array) ? v.join(", ") : v.to_s }, desired_state: false, required: true

#node ⇒ Chef::Node

The node the current Chef run is using.

Corresponds to run_context.node.

Returns:

  • (Chef::Node) —

    The node the current Chef run is using.

#not_if(command = nil, opts = {}, &block) ⇒ Object

A command or block that indicates whether to actually run this resource. The command or block is run just before the action actually executes, and the action will be skipped if the block returns true.

If a block is specified, it must return false in order for the Resource to be executed.

If a command is specified, the resource's #guard_interpreter will run the command and interpret the results according to opts. For example, the default execute resource will be treated as false if the command returns a non-zero exit code, and true if it returns 0. Thus, in the default case:

  • not_if "your command" will perform the action only if your command returns a non-zero code.
  • only_if "your command", valid_exit_codes: [ 1, 2, 3 ] will perform the action only if your command returns something other than 1, 2, or 3.

Parameters:

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

    A string to execute.

  • opts (Hash) (defaults to: {}) —

    Options control the execution of the command

  • block (Proc) —

    A ruby block to run. Ignored if a command is given.

end

#notifies(action, resource_spec, timing = :delayed) ⇒ Object

Sets up a notification that will run a particular action on another resource if and when this resource is updated by an action.

If the action does not update this resource, the notification never triggers.

Only one resource may be specified per notification.

delayed notifications will only ever happen once per resource, so if multiple resources all notify a single resource to perform the same action, the action will only happen once. However, if they ask for different actions, each action will happen once, in the order they were updated.

immediate notifications will cause the action to be triggered once per notification, regardless of how many other resources have triggered the notification as well.

Examples:

Resource by string

file '/foo.txt' do
  content 'hi'
  notifies :create, 'file[/bar.txt]'
end
file '/bar.txt' do
  action :nothing
  content 'hi'
end

Resource by hash

file '/foo.txt' do
  content 'hi'
  notifies :create, file: '/bar.txt'
end
file '/bar.txt' do
  action :nothing
  content 'hi'
end

Direct Resource

bar = file '/bar.txt' do
  action :nothing
  content 'hi'
end
file '/foo.txt' do
  content 'hi'
  notifies :create, bar
end

Parameters:

  • action —

    The action to run on the other resource.

  • resource_spec (String, Hash, Chef::Resource) —

    The resource to run.

  • timing (String, Symbol) (defaults to: :delayed) —

    When to notify. Has these values:

    • delayed: Will run the action on the other resource after all other actions have been run. This is the default.
    • immediate, immediately: Will run the action on the other resource immediately (before any other action is run).
    • before: Will run the action on the other resource immediately before the action is actually run.

#only_if(command = nil, opts = {}, &block) ⇒ Object

A command or block that indicates whether to actually run this resource. The command or block is run just before the action actually executes, and the action will be skipped if the block returns false.

If a block is specified, it must return true in order for the Resource to be executed.

If a command is specified, the resource's #guard_interpreter will run the command and interpret the results according to opts. For example, the default execute resource will be treated as false if the command returns a non-zero exit code, and true if it returns 0. Thus, in the default case:

  • only_if "your command" will perform the action only if your command returns 0.
  • only_if "your command", valid_exit_codes: [ 1, 2, 3 ] will perform the action only if your command returns 1, 2, or 3.

Parameters:

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

    A string to execute.

  • opts (Hash) (defaults to: {}) —

    Options control the execution of the command

  • block (Proc) —

    A ruby block to run. Ignored if a command is given.

  @only_if
end

#provider(arg = nil) ⇒ Object

The provider class for this resource.

If action :x do ... end has been declared on this resource or its superclasses, this will return the action_class.

If this is not set, provider_for_action will dynamically determine the provider.

Parameters:

  • arg (String, Symbol, Class) (defaults to: nil) —

    Sets the provider class for this resource. If passed a String or Symbol, e.g. :file or "file", looks up the provider based on the name.

Returns:

  • The provider class for this resource.

#sensitive ⇒ Boolean

Whether to treat this resource's data as sensitive. If set, no resource data will be displayed in log output.

Parameters:

  • arg (Boolean) —

    Whether this resource is sensitive or not.

Returns:

    Whether this resource is sensitive or not.

#should_skip?(action) ⇒ Boolean

Evaluates not_if and only_if conditionals. Returns a falsey value if any of the conditionals indicate that this resource should be skipped, i.e., if an only_if evaluates to false or a not_if evaluates to true.

If this resource should be skipped, returns the first conditional that "fails" its check. Subsequent conditionals are not evaluated, so in general it's not a good idea to rely on side effects from not_if or only_if commands/blocks being evaluated.

Also skips conditional checking when the action is :nothing

Returns:

  • (Boolean)

#subscribes(action, resources, timing = :delayed) ⇒ Object

Subscribes to updates from other resources, causing a particular action to run on this resource when the other resource is updated.

If multiple resources are specified, this resource action will be run if any of them change.

This notification will only trigger once, no matter how many other resources are updated (or how many actions are run by a particular resource).

Examples:

Resources by string

file '/foo.txt' do
  content 'hi'
  action :nothing
  subscribes :create, 'file[/bar.txt]'
end
file '/bar.txt' do
  content 'hi'
end

Direct resource

bar = file '/bar.txt' do
  content 'hi'
end
file '/foo.txt' do
  content 'hi'
  action :nothing
  subscribes :create, '/bar.txt'
end

Multiple resources by string

file '/foo.txt' do
  content 'hi'
  action :nothing
  subscribes :create, [ 'file[/bar.txt]', 'file[/baz.txt]' ]
end
file '/bar.txt' do
  content 'hi'
end
file '/baz.txt' do
  content 'hi'
end

Multiple resources

bar = file '/bar.txt' do
  content 'hi'
end
baz = file '/bar.txt' do
  content 'hi'
end
file '/foo.txt' do
  content 'hi'
  action :nothing
  subscribes :create, [ bar, baz ]
end

Parameters:

  • action —

    The action to run on the other resource.

  • resources (String, Resource, Array[String, Resource]) —

    The resources to subscribe to.

  • timing (String, Symbol) (defaults to: :delayed) —

    When to notify. Has these values:

    • delayed: An update will cause the action to run after all other actions have been run. This is the default.
    • immediate, immediately: The action will run immediately following the other resource being updated.
    • before: The action will run immediately before the other resource is updated.
