Chef 13 Upgrade: Deprecation of Namespace Collisions in Custom Resources

Featured image for sharing metadata for article

In Chef 12 and Chef 13, the following code would work, allowing the file resource to access the my_content property:

property :my_content, String

action :doit do
  file "/tmp/file.xy" do
    content my_content
  end
end

However, this is now deprecated, and will be removed in Cher 14 in lieu of referring to properties by i.e. new_resource.my_content:

 property :my_content, String

 action :doit do
   file "/tmp/file.xy" do
-    content my_content
+    content new_resource.my_content
   end
 end
