[chef-dev] Re: CHEF-2398 : adding a cwd attr to the link resource

[Joseph Holsten < >]

Could you explain why this is useful? I haven't used them in ages, so I can't remember what they're good for (besides surprising me).

In particular, I have no idea what the example in the ticket is supposed to do.

Hi there,

I've written a simple implementation of a cwd attribute for the Link

resource.

it defaults to nil.

When loading the current resource, if cwd is an absolute link it

saves the current working dir then chdir(cwd)

at the end of both actions, it sets the working dir back if necessary.

I've added a requirement to Pathname so it can check for absolute

paths on the windows platform as well.

I'm looking forward to your thougths and comments about it :)
