Hi all,

I have some problem with notification in LWRP.

In this example: https://github.com/optiflows-cookbooks/prosody/blob/LWRP/providers/module.rb

Notifications don't work as I expect.

For example, I want to update a configuration file when I add a module.

Template resource is defined in an install recipe and I want to notifies it to take care of modification by LWRP. (I can't use something like ".d" folder).

I also want to restart service and I don't want to duplicate service code (because service can be upstart / init / something else, and this code is manage in a different recipe). So a notification on "service[prosody]" define in a "service" recipe is something great... I can't use...

I try with use_inline_resources and without.

Can I do something else? Or Am I wrong somewhere?

Latest chef version installed.

When using `use_inline_resources`, your LWRPs execute in a self-contained chef run with each action having an independent compile/converge phase and resource collection. To do what you want, just have the LWRP resource in your recipe notify the template resource.

 

Thank you.
