[chef] Helper and Resource Order

[Douglas Garstang < >]

I have a default recipe with this:

file '/tmp/foo' do
end
::Chef::Recipe.send(:include, Helpers)
func()

and a helper function in libaries/ with this:

module Helpers
  def func()
    Chef::Log.info("I am here")
  end
end

My chef run in vagrant shows this:

==> node1: [2015-08-28T20:24:53+00:00] INFO: I am here
==> node1: [2015-08-28T20:24:53+00:00] INFO: file[/tmp/foo] created file /tmp/foo

Obviously, the helper function func() is being called and executed before the file resource, even though the order dictates the file resource should run first. How can I ensure a specific order?

Thanks,

Douglas
