DelayedEvaluator
This is a PoC cookbook to show a working solution for delayed
attribute evaluation within resource blocks. The relevant
Chef ticket is here:
Example
Below is an example recipe to demonstrate the usage.
include_recipe 'delayed_evaluator' node.default[:testbook][:test_content] = "I'm the compile time value!" ruby_block 'reset test content' do block do node.default[:testbook][:test_content] = "I'm the execution time value!" end end file '/opt/test_no_delay' do content node[:testbook][:test_content] end file '/opt/test_delay' do content delay_eval{ node[:testbook][:test_content] } end
Note that the evaluation block must be provided to the delay_eval
method. It simply generates a Chef::DelayedEvaluator instance to
prevent conflicts where attributes are expecting a block.
