[chef] Re: Searching files/ to see if file exists

[Ranjib Dey < >]

you can do this with raw ruby code inside recipe:

if File.exists?('/path/to/file')

  ... add some resource

end

note. this is compile time check, so it will be false if the file is being created as part of the chef run. use ruby_block or custom lwrp for run time checks

Hi all, I need to determine if a file is included/exists in the files/* subdir under any appropriate folder for the current node, is there any way I can do this? I looked through the chef code and see theres a get_filename method as part of the cookbook code, is this usable from within cookbooks and if so can someone point to an example of how it would be used?

Thanks,
