[chef] Re: resource notification not working as expected -- picks the wrong attribute

[George Miranda < >]

You're creating a statically named resource in two different loops (i.e. in the resource collection, you're always referencing the same object).  Try giving your resources unique names.

Change this line:

bash "install_tomcat" do

To:

bash "install_tomcat for #{base_name}"

That should get you the expected behavior.

Hi,

I am running a for loop to create 2 directories and then install tomcat in those directories

But the notify resource i run it goes and look for 2nd directory all the time not the first one ,

i am not sure what i am doing wrong , looks like the notify resource is always running and picking the last attribute.

please advise, may be i am doing something very stupid.

here is the piece of code

node['tcat']['base_dir'].each do |base_name|

directory "#{base_name}" do

  owner "deploy"

  group "deploy"

  mode 00755

  action :create

end

cookbook_file "#{base_name}/tomcat.tar" do

  source "tomcat.tar"

  mode 0777

  owner "deploy"

  group "deploy"

  notifies :run, "bash[install_tomcat]", :immediately

end

bash "install_tomcat" do

   code <<-EOS

  set -e

   pwd

   

   echo "base name is #{base_name}"

   tar -xvf "#{base_name}/tomcat.tar -C #{base_name}"

   EOS

  action :nothing

end

this is the attributes :

default[:tcat][:base_dir]=['/local_app/tc1','/local_app/tc2']

Here is the error log :
