How to add condition on action of a resource block in CHEF?
I created one resource which has two actions.
Let's say action:A1 and action:A2.
Iam able to call them in one single resource block(test) like this :
test 'Testing the actions' do
action [:a1 ,:a2]
only_if {::File.exists?"/tmp/action_exist.txt"}
end
It is working fine.But what if I want to add the condition on the action like this
Check condition only for action :A1. and simply run action :A2 irrespective of condition.
I tried like this :
test 'Testing the actions' do
action [:A1 ,:A2]
if (action.first=="A1")
puts "yes"
only_if {::File.exists?"/tmp/action_exist.txt" }
end
end
But it's not working.
It is executing this condition for both the actions

It seems both elements on action are symbols, can you compare them asaction.first == :A1?

@SebastianPalma Sorry, but it didn't help.test 'Testing the actions' do action [:a1 ,:a2] if (action.first == ":a1") only_if { ::File.exists?"/tmp/action_exist.txt" } end endoutput ` * test[Testing the actions] action a1 * file[/tmp/temp1.txt] action create (up to date) (up to date) * test[Testing the actions] action a2 * file[/tmp/temp2.txt] action create (up to date) (up to date) ` Means it's not skipping for both

Not as a string. As in the example I added.':A1'-> string,:A1-> symbol.

@SebastianPalma..Yes but this time , it's skipping for both ` test[Testing the actions] action a1 (skipped due to not_if) test[Testing the actions] action a2 (skipped due to not_if)`

This is not how Chef works. The resource body isn't a script that is run each action.

It depends on whether the condition is known at compile time. If the condition is known at compile time, you could write something like:
test 'Testing the action' do
if ::File.exists?('/tmp/action_exist.txt')
action [:A1, :A2]
else
action [:A2]
end
end
But that's only if your recipes are not fiddling with /tmp/action_exist.txt during the run. If the status of /tmp/action_exist.txt might change during convergence, then you may need to do something fancier. For instance, you could notify the resource to perform :A1 immediately in some resource the precedes the resource. That's not something I have done, so you will probably need to experiment.
