有没有一种方法可以为Chef资源的name属性指定默认值？

Question

Ideally, I would like to be able to do:

resource_name :house

property :material, String, default: 'brick', name_property: true
...

so that I could then do

house do
  ...
end

and material property would be set to 'brick' , but this results in the error message:

A property cannot be both a name_property/name_attribute and have a default value ...

which is clear enough. I am reasonably certain what I am asking for is not possible, but, I might also be missing an alternative way of achieving the same, so I thought I would ask.

No, you would have to do it at the name level itself. See https://github.com/chef/chef/blob/master/lib/chef/resource/apt_update.rb#L31 .

This should be used very very sparingly, it's pretty rare for something to be a true global singleton.
