[chef] Re: impossible to call the provider

[Ilya Maltsev < >]

Jay,

thanks fo ans!

mysql used as an example. call it something different: ololo. It essentially does not change. we need to write own provider, but it's not clear how to do it. documentation is very vague.

Ilya,

The lightweight provider goes in:

    chef-repo/cookbooks/mysql/providers/database.rb

You should also have corresponding lightweight resource, so that you can actually use the lightweight provider, in:

    chef-repo/cookbooks/mysql/resources/database.rb

You can use a lightweight resource in another cookbook (Chef will match your lightweight resource to your lightweight provider) by:

    mysql_database "the-db-name" do

      # some attributes

    end

For more complete information about defining and using lightweight resources and providers, consult:

Hello!
We're trying to write a provider. For example: MySql. It consists of the
following components:

mysql/attributes/default.rb
containing:

default['mysql']['m_version'] = "1.0.0"

mysql/attributes/providers.rb
containing:

action :ololo do
 execute "print some" do
   puts "Olololo!"
 end
end

mysql/resouces/default.rb
containing:

actions :ololo
attribute :ololo, :kind_of => String

After that, we are creating a recipe dump_extract/recipes/default.rb,
containing the following:

include Chef::Provider::Mysql

mysql do
 provider "default"
end

After that, we're trying to run dump_extract, but it is impossible to
call the provider Mysql.
Tell me please how to make a call to the provider. The official
documentation contain very little information.

Thank you!
