[chef] Re: using chef resource in library

[Noah Kantrowitz < >]

Library code is just 100% plain ruby code, so you can't use the recipe dsl unless you do special stuff to set that up. If you are trying to write class based resources using the lwp dsl, check out Poise and some of the cookbooks using it.

Hi Guys,

I was wondering if it was possible to use a chef resource such as 'file' or 'cookbook_file' in a custom library. I have tried the following and none of them have been successful:

class Chef

 class Recipe

  class myhelper

   

   file "..." do

   end 

 

class Chef

 class Resource

  class myhelper

   

   file "..." do

   end 

class Chef

 class Resource

  class myhelper < ::Chef::Resource

   

   file "..." do

   end 

 

-thanks
