[chef] Re: Catch exception of resources in chef ? (if resource failed, then do resource instead)

Ignore failure attribute suppress the exception. There's a event handler hook to detect this and do something. You combine these two to write an hwrp/lwrp  that does what you want. Declare the failure resource with nothing action, the alter it via event handler

is there a way to catch exceptions of a chef resource ?

like if this resource fails to compile or converge, then this do this other resource instead ?

while my question is about all resources, I am thinking an example of using it in Machine resource
