[chef] Re: Reload an ohai plugin from within a LWRP

[Krzysztof Wilczynski < >]

Hi,

The "ohai" resource itself is really tiny, there isn't much to it:

https://github.com/opscode/chef/blob/master/lib/chef/resource/ohai.rb
(resource code)
https://github.com/opscode/chef/blob/master/lib/chef/provider/ohai.rb
(provider code)

So, check out `use_inline_resources` so you can just use the ohai
resource as usual, see:

- http://docs.chef.io/lwrp.html#inline-compile-mode
- https://docs.chef.io/lwrp_custom_provider.html#use-inline-resources

Alternatively, if you like some Ruby code, you can also try this
(inside chef-shell session):

chef:recipe > o = Chef::Resource::Ohai.new('reload-etc-plugin', run_context)
 => <ohai[reload-etc-plugin] @name: "reload-etc-plugin" @noop: nil
@before: nil @params: {} @provider: nil @allowed_actions: [:nothing,
:reload] @action: :reload @updated: false @updated_by_last_action:
false @supports: {} @ignore_failure: false @retries: 0 @retry_delay: 2
@source_line: nil @guard_interpreter: :default @elapsed_time: 0
@sensitive: false @resource_name: :ohai @plugin: nil>
chef:recipe > o.plugin('etc')
 => "etc"
chef:recipe > o.run_action(:reload)
 => nil
chef:recipe >

Hope this helps.

Best,
Krzysztof
