Hi guys,

I am just learning how to use chef and trying to understand the keystone recipes at
https://github.com/stackforge/cookbook-openstack-identity/blob/master/recipes

For the recipe registration.rb, I can understand most of the content except the structure "openstack_identity_register". I think the word "openstack_identity_register" should have a definition at somewhere, so I tried to search the definition at the whole cookbook "cookbook-openstack-identity" but failed.

I am wondering where is the definition so that I can understand what happened in the structure "openstack_identity_register".

Much appreciated for any comment.

Thanks,

Sam

This is a LWRP (lightweight resource and provider) that comes bundled with the cookbook. The resource file declares the available fields:

https://github.com/stackforge/cookbook-openstack-identity/blob/master/resources/register.rb

And the provider is the implementation:

https://github.com/stackforge/cookbook-openstack-identity/blob/master/providers/register.rb

The docs for LWRPs are here: http://docs.opscode.com/lwrp_custom.html

HTH,
