Chef Infra Client 15.8.23
New notify_group functionality
Chef Infra Client now includes a new notify_group feature that can be used to extract multiple common notifies out of individual resources to reduce duplicate code in your cookbooks and custom resources. Previously cookbook authors would often use a log resource to achieve a similar outcome, but using the log resource results in unnecessary Chef Infra Client log output. The notify_group method produces no additional logging, but fires all defined notifications when the :run action is set.
Example notify_group that stops, sleeps, and then starts service when a service config is updated:
service "crude" do
action [ :enable, :start ]
end
chef_sleep "60" do
action :nothing
end
notify_group "crude_stop_and_start" do
notifies :stop, "service[crude]", :immediately
notifies :sleep, "chef_sleep[60]", :immediately
notifies :start, "service[crude]", :immediately
end
template "/etc/crude/crude.conf" do
source "crude.conf.erb"
variables node["crude"]
notifies :run, "notify_group[crude_stop_and_start]", :immediately
end
