I just pushed a branch to Github, CHEF-13-CHECK-METHODS. It's a first pass at implementing dry run mode, but for your purposes, you want to see this method:

That would let you walk the resource collection in the report handler, call diff, and get the output.

Hi

 

I want to write a chef report handler that executes diff and reports for each file, template what was modified by chef

 

Anyone has done something similar? What is best way to do it?

 

Thank a lot

Take a look here for a report handler I wrote that walks the resource collection and interrogates the resources:
