[chef] Re: Re: Re: Re: Listing files in cookbook/files/default/

["Jason J. W. Williams" < >]

Thanks Adam. I'm trying to avoid hardcoding a list of templates into
my recipe, and instead introspect a sub-directory off templates/ to
auto-discover new files. Tried this with cookbook files instead of
templates, but those get cleaned out of the cache. Is there any
reliable way to introspect the authoritative contents of a templates/
subdirectory?
