module Chef::Node::Mixin::DeepMergeCache

Attributes

deep_merge_cache[RW]

Cache of deep merged values by top-level key. This is a simple hash which has keys that are the top-level keys of the node object, and we save the computed deep-merge for that key here. There is no cache of subtrees.

Invalidate a key in the deep_merge_cache. If called with nil, or no arg, this will invalidate the entire deep_merge cache. In the case of the user doing node.default['bar’]= that eventually results in a call to #reset_cache('foo') here. A node.default=hash_thing call must invalidate the entire cache and re-deep-merge the entire node object.

def reset_cache(path = nil)
  if path.nil?
    deep_merge_cache.clear

    deep_merge_cache.delete(path.to_s)
