Hey Kapil,

By default, any resource included in the core Chef framework should be idempotent.  The exception to that is any ‘execute’ or ‘script’ resource which may run arbitrary commands (therefore, we can’t ensure it is idempotent).  Any add-on resources (LWRPs, HWRPs, etc) may or may not be idempotent depending on how they’re written.  If they’re not idempotent, it’s probably a bug and you should file one with the maintainer of the resource.

In the case of the iis_site resource, there’s currently an open bug[1] where this resource is unable to modify already existing sites even if some of the config parameters are not configured correctly.  Perhaps this is why your notification didn’t fire?

HTH,

It will be great if Chef documentation on IIS LWRP mentions which resources are idempotent and which ones are not.

Did anyone get a chance to confirm the behavior I mentioned in this thread?

Thanks

Some resources are not idempotent.  I discovered this the hard way with his_config for example

It does not seem to have made any difference? Also, is IIS LWRP idempotent?

I seem to remember "puts" not working.

Try "Chef::Log.info 'foo here'" to write 'foo here' to your chef client logs...

I have been writing a sample cookbook to evaluate new IIS LWRP and I notice that "iis_config" resource does not seem to execute notifies statement in it.

Here is how iis_config resource looks like in my cookbook:

Following are the resources it notifies:

On running chef-client on node, I expect to see "I have been called" in output but I don't see it. Can someone confirm the behavior?

Thanks
