[chef-dev] Resource requirements for an Idempotent resource

[Kishore S Kumar < >]

Hi,

I'm trying to understand how resource requirements work with idempotent resource. Can someone help me. Currently I have a idempotent resource which say install a software unless it is already installed. I have resource requirement assertion set for the action which fail if the installer does not exist.

What should have happened  when I try to run the recipe on a node where the software is already installed(idempotency) and the installer does not exist(resource requirements failed). 

right now the recipe fails saying the resource requirements failure.

Thanks

Kishore
