[chef] Re: using chef resource in library

[Ranjib Dey < >]

take a look at the chef-apply code[1],  

all resources in chef requires a run context, you can learn how to build run context from that code, after that either you can take the recipe route (i.e. instance_eval ruby code having file, cookbook_file etc, using Chef::Recipe) or the explicit  Chef::File.new('/path', rc).run_action(:create)  route

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
