In regards to the prefetching the self.instance method of the Provider
class I can use one call to provide at least half of the attributes I
created for the type (add_device). Obviously i did nto want this to be an
expensive operation.
I hacked together a ruby script that does pretty much everything in regards
to device and class creation, modification and removal. As i was learnign
to put this together it dawned on me that there was no way i could reliably
provide connection info without duplicating code for every provider and
this i read Nans and Bodes threads and borrowed the code but have come
unstuck when in a few places.
The issue at the moment is getting access to the resource hash - from the
provider. Once thats solved Im almost on a home straight.
So how do i access the resource type. Im using the provider type to test
whether I can access it. I am also running this without Puppet master.
In clues on how to access the resource hash
