#copy_properties_from(other, *includes, exclude: [ :name ]) ⇒ Object

Copy properties from another property object (resource)

By default this copies all properties other than the name property (that is required to create the destination object so it has already been done in advance and this way we do not clobber the name that was set in that constructor). By default it copies everything, optional arguments can be use to only select a subset. Or specific excludes can be set (and the default exclude on the name property can also be overridden). Exclude has priority over include, although the caller is likely better off doing the set arithmetic themselves for explicitness.

action :doit do

# use it inside a block
file "/etc/whatever.xyz" do
  copy_properties_from new_resource
end

# or directly call it
r = declare_resource(:file, "etc/whatever.xyz")
r.copy_properties_from(new_resource, :owner, :group, :mode)

end

Parameters:

  • other (Object) —

    the other object (Chef::Resource) which implements the properties API

  • includes (Array<Symbol>) —

    splat-args list of symbols of the properties to copy.

  • exclude (Array<Symbol>) (defaults to: [ :name ]) —

    list of symbosl of the properties to exclude.

Returns:

  • the self object the properties were copied to for method chaining
