[chef] Adding SNS Handler to Client

[Douglas Garstang < >]

I'm trying to use the chef client cookbook to install the chef sns handler. The docs are pretty clear. I have this in an environment:

  "default_attributes": {
    "chef-client": {
      "load_gems": {
        "chef-handler-updated-resources": {
          "require_name": "chef/handler/sns"
        }
      },
      "config": {
        "chef_server_url": "https://chef-004.dev.slicetest.com"
      }
    }
}

On my client system, the /etc/chef/client.rb file ends up with:

chef_server_url "https://chef-004.dev.slicetest.com:443"
log_location '/var/log/chef/client.log'
validation_client_name "chef-validator"
verify_api_cert true
# Using default node name (fqdn)

Ohai::Config[:plugin_path] << "/etc/chef/ohai_plugins"

Dir.glob(File.join("/etc/chef", "client.d", "*.rb")).each do |conf|
  Chef::Config.from_file(conf)
end

However, the docs say that the following should be added to /etc/client.rb:

["chef/handler/updated_resources"].each do |lib|
  begin
    require lib
  rescue LoadError
    Chef::Log.warn "Failed to load #{lib}. This should be resolved after a chef run."
  end
end

This is not added. I'm using the latest version of the chef client cookbook. Why is it not being added?
