Hi all,
In a LRWP resource definition (the file in ./resources), is it possible to
do something like :
actions :install
default_action :install
attribute :name, :kind_of => String, :name_attribute => true
attribute :repository, :kind_of => String, :default => node[:name
][‘repository’]
Unfortunately :name is not yet defined when my third line gets executed.
Is there a way to access it from within that file (I need it to define
other attributes default)?

You will probably have to write up a HWRP to get the kind of lazy
evaluation you want

Typically, I leave that with a default of nil in the resource attributes and conditionally set it in the provider.

@Joseph, indeed that's what I do right now but I was wondering if it was
possible
Thanks for your answer

LWRPs are basically a wrapper around class_eval, so for most cases you can just add a little more traditional ruby method definition where you need it.
You only have to use HWRPs if you need full control of the Class name or its superclass.
