Chef "iis_config" resource not working with "notifies"

Chef Infra (archive)
1

I have been writing a sample cookbook to evaluate new IIS LWRP and I notice that “iis_config” resource does not seem to execute notifies statement in it.

Here is how iis_config resource looks like in my cookbook:

Following are the resources it notifies:

[cid:image002.png@01CF0C71.40531C20]

On running chef-client on node, I expect to see “I have been called” in output but I don’t see it. Can someone confirm the behavior?

Thanks

I seem to remember "puts" not working.

Try "Chef::Log.info 'foo here'" to write 'foo here' to your chef client
logs...

It does not seem to have made any difference? Also, is IIS LWRP idempotent?

Try “Chef::Log.info ‘foo here’” to write ‘foo here’ to your chef client logs…

Some resources are not idempotent. I discovered this the hard way with his_config for example

It will be great if Chef documentation on IIS LWRP mentions which resources are idempotent and which ones are not.

Did anyone get a chance to confirm the behavior I mentioned in this thread?

Thanks
