[chef] Re: LWRP - attributes required

    No, you must do that kind of processing in the provider.  The
    resource itself does not know what action you may or may not invoke
    on it eventually when it is being built.

Hey All,

 

Is it possible in the resource file of a LWRP to have attributes required for certain action type.

 

Exampe:

 

actions    :foo, :bar

 

default_action :foo

 

attribute :name, :kind_of => String, :name_attribute => true

attribute :section, :kind_of => String, :required => true (only for :bar action)

attribute :item, :kind_of => String, :required => true (only for :foo action )

attribute :value, :kind_of => [String,Integer], :required => true

 

Is the :respond_to the right thing?

 

I tried with no success:  

attribute :section, :kind_of => String, :required => true, :respond_to foo?
