Cookstyle cops page

The Cookstyle cops department: Chef/Deprecations

Resources written in the class based HWRP style should inherit from the ‘Chef::Resource’ class and not the ‘ChefCompat::Resource’ class from the deprecated compat_resource cookbook.

Examples

incorrect

class AptUpdate < ChefCompat::Resource
  # some resource code
end

correct

class AptUpdate < Chef::Resource
  # some resource code
end

# better
Write a custom resource using the custom resource DSL and avoid class based HWRPs entirely
