Instance Method Details

#define_resource(name, &block) ⇒ Object

Define a new resource that can be called like any other resource Similar to any other resource (like file or exec) but you define it how you want it to work Example:

define_resource(:line_in_file) do end

Within the block, you can define any methods you want to run as part of the resource

One thing to note is that this is NOT like other resources in the sense that it does not give you any extra methods like the resources do

For example usage, see lib/poolparty/plugins/line.rb

def define_resource(name, &block)
  $stderr.puts "define_resource (#{name}) is depricated (#{caller[0]})"
  name.to_s.new_resource_class &block
end

#virtual_resource(name = :virtual_resource, opts = {}, &block) ⇒ Object

DEPRICATED use plugin instead

Allow us to create virtual resources Generally, in plugins This sets a virtual resource against the Resource class Example:

virtual_resource(:virtualhost) do

end

This defines a virtualhost as a virtual resource

and consequently gives the methods has_virtualhost and does_not_have_virtualhost

Note that you can define any resources within the virtual resource within the definition or the call. Call example: has_virtualhost do

name "xnot.org"

end

Which sets the virtual host’s name as xnot.org

An example is included in the poolparty-apache-plugin
