I wrote a small LWRP my app cookbook (trim_log), and it works. However, now I am trying to move this particular LWRP in to the commons cookbook so that my other cookbooks can also use it. The problem is that I cannot figure out how to load in the trim_log resource/provider in to any of the cookbooks, including my app cookbook.
├── app
│ ├── recipes
│ └── default.rb
├── commons
├── providers
│ └── trim_log.rb
└── resources
└── trim_log.rb
I have defined the trim_log provider/resource in the commons cookbook. Now I wish to use this trim_log provider/resource in the app cookbook. How can I make it available there?
I believe you need to:
- Declare in the
app/metadata.rbthat you depend on thecommonscookbook. - Refer to the resource as
commons_trim_loginapp/recipes/default.rb.
