Hi,
So I was trying to create a custom resource for the first time and read the documentation about how to use action-class
But when I try to use it inside action_class it throws an error:
================================================================================
Recipe Compile Error in c:/chef/cache/cookbooks/eg_provisioning/resources/eg_data_bag.rb
================================================================================
NameError
---------
undefined local variable or method 'new_resource' for #<Class:0x115a4528> action provider

Platform:
---------
i386-mingw32
Chef version is 12.14.89
I am not sure what is wrong. Please help!
Thanks!

Any chance you can include the complete contents of the resource file?

Sure! Just clipping out implementation of some methods and other similar things. The methods inside action_class also need to have access to new_resource properties. Thanks!
resource_name :eg_data_bag
property :bag_item_name, String, name_property: true, required: true
property :bag_name, String, required: true
property :bag_type, String, equal_to: %w(DU EG)
property :vpc_data, Hash, required: true
property :region_data, Hash, required: true
# Action Create
action :create do
bag_item_data = add_common_info
bag_item_data = add_du_info(bag_item_data) if bag_type == 'DU'
bag_item_data = add_eg_info(bag_item_data) if bag_type == 'EG'
# Create DU data bag
chef_data_bag new_resource.bag_name do
action :create
end
# Create DU Data bag item
chef_data_bag_item new_resource.bag_item_name do
data_bag new_resource.bag_name
raw_data bag_item_data
action :create
end
end
# Action delete
action :delete do
# Delete DU Data bag item
chef_data_bag_item new_resource.bag_item_name do
data_bag new_resource.bag_name

end
end
action_class do

VPC_Data = new_resource.vpc_data

end

The block for action_class is evaluated at the class level for the provider subclass. So at that time, there is no specific resource object instance available. You would have to query those things from inside the methods, using them later on in the lifecycle.

I need a bunch of similar variables to be available to multiple methods inside action_class. I could add these inside getter/setter methods but then I will first have to call those methods from action blocks?
