[chef] Re: Re: Re: LWRP to extends another cookbook LWRP

[Ranjib Dey < >]

for temporary workaround, you can write a helper method that takes a lwrp name, and returns the lwrp objects (resource and provider) and you use that to decorate/compose your new lwrp. in short use  LWRPBase.from_file in your library and pass it the file path (available from run context). 

let us know if you need some code samples,

cheers

UGH.

An alternative could be to send a PR to the upstream cookbook with a
bunch of new node attributes defined to be used as default values for
the LWRP attributes?

Other suggestions?
