[chef] remote_file checksum

Hi All,

I’ve been working with the remote_file  a bit lately. I’m using chef-solo.

I’m misunderstanding the use of checksum attribute ( at least I hope) 

with the following code , should it retry download until retries limit?

	remote_file "/tmp/myfile.tmp" do
		source "http://example.com/test.tmp"
	  	checksum "incorrect_should_cause_redownload"
		retries 3
		retry_delay 20
	end

My understanding was that it should only fetch the source if the checksums don’t match.

I’ve tried this with forcing the use_conditional_get true and use_etag true.

It seems to ignore what I set checksum too , string , md5, and sha256 is what it should be.

Thanks 

D.
