ruby_block
ruby_block
Use the ruby_block resource to execute Ruby code during a chef-client run. Ruby code in the ruby_block
resource is evaluated with other resources during convergence, whereas Ruby code outside of a ruby_block
resource is evaluated before other resources, as the recipe is compiled.
Syntax
A ruby_block resource block executes a block of arbitrary Ruby code. For example, to reload the client.rb file during the chef-client run:
ruby_block 'reload_client_config' do block do Chef::Config.from_file("/etc/chef/client.rb") end action :run end
The full syntax for all of the properties that are available to the ruby_block resource is:
ruby_block 'name' do block
