chocolatey_source resource¶

Use the chocolatey_source resource to add or remove Chocolatey sources.

New in Chef Client 14.3.

Syntax¶

The chocolatey_source resource has the following syntax:

chocolatey_source 'name' do
  bypass_proxy      true, false # default value: false
  priority          Integer # default value: 0
  source            String
  source_name       String # default value: 'name' unless specified
  action            Symbol # defaults to :add if not specified
end

where:

chocolatey_source is the resource.
name is the name given to the resource block.
action identifies which steps the chef-client will take to bring the node into the desired state.
bypass_proxy, priority, source, and source_name are the properties available to this resource.

Actions¶

The chocolatey_source resource has the following actions:

:add: Default. Adds a Chocolatey source.
:remove: Removes a Chocolatey source.
:nothing: Define this resource block to do nothing until notified by another resource to take action. When this resource is notified, this resource block is either run immediately or it is queued up to be run at the end of the Chef Client run.

Properties¶

The chocolatey_source resource has the following properties:

bypass_proxy

Ruby Type: true, false | Default Value: false

Whether or not to bypass the system’s proxy settings to access the source.

notifies

Ruby Type: Symbol, ‘Chef::Resource[String]’

A resource may notify another resource to take action when its state changes. Specify a 'resource[name]', the :action that resource should take, and then the :timer for that action. A resource may notify more than one resource; use a notifies statement for each resource to be notified.

A timer specifies the point during the Chef Client run at which a notification is run. The following timers are available:

:before: Specifies that the action on a notified resource should be run before processing the resource block in which the notification is located.
:delayed: Default. Specifies that a notification should be queued up, and then executed at the end of the Chef Client run.
:immediate, :immediately: Specifies that a notification should be run immediately, per resource notified.

The syntax for notifies is:

notifies :action, 'resource[name]', :timer

priority

Ruby Type: Integer | Default Value: 0

The priority level of the source.

source

Ruby Type: String

The source URL.

source_name

Ruby Type: String | Default Value: 'name'

The name of the source to add. The resource’s name will be used if this isn’t provided.

subscribes

Ruby Type: Symbol, ‘Chef::Resource[String]’

A resource may listen to another resource, and then take action if the state of the resource being listened to changes. Specify a 'resource[name]', the :action to be taken, and then the :timer for that action.

Note that subscribes does not apply the specified action to the resource that it listens to - for example:

file '/etc/nginx/ssl/example.crt' do
   mode '0600'
   owner 'root'
end

service 'nginx' do
   subscribes :reload, 'file[/etc/nginx/ssl/example.crt]', :immediately
end

In this case the subscribes property reloads the nginx service whenever its certificate file, located under /etc/nginx/ssl/example.crt, is updated. subscribes does not make any changes to the certificate file itself, it merely listens for a change to the file, and executes the :reload action for its resource (in this example nginx) when a change is detected.

A timer specifies the point during the Chef Client run at which a notification is run. The following timers are available:

:before: Specifies that the action on a notified resource should be run before processing the resource block in which the notification is located.
:delayed: Default. Specifies that a notification should be queued up, and then executed at the end of the Chef Client run.
:immediate, :immediately: Specifies that a notification should be run immediately, per resource notified.

The syntax for subscribes is:

subscribes :action, 'resource[name]', :timer
