[chef] Re: Custom LWRP undefined local variable or method `new_resource'

try @new_resource ... it's an instance variable.

I created a custom resource that tries to mimic ruby_block's block. This
resource was for Rspec and I wanted to follow the typical style of writing
rspec with the format,

rspec "myApp" do
 it "should ..." do
   ...
 end
end

So I have written my resource as follows,

//

def initialize(*args)
 super
= :describe
end

def it(s, &it)
 if s
   should(s)
 end

 if block_given? and it
  = it
 else
 
 end
end

actions :describe

attribute :name, :kind_of => String, :name_attribute => true
attribute :should, :kind_of => String, :default => "RSpec Test"

\\

And my provider as,

//

action :describe do
 run_context.include_recipe "rspec"

 ruby_block "Rspec:#{new_resource.name}" do
   block do
     require 'rspec/autorun'

     describe new_resource.name do
       it new_resource.should do
         new_resource.it.call
       end
     end
   end
 end

 new_resource.updated_by_last_action(true)
end

Chef is telling me that new_resource is undefined in my provider at,

'it new_resource.should do'

Any thoughts?
