Chef - how to avoid duplicating a recipe -

-

in our chef cookbooks support multiple versions of same software. we've adopted bad practice. each version we've made copy of recipe , changed it's attributes.

e.g.

remote_file install_file   source node['android']['sdk']['23']['source_url']   not_if     ::file.exists?(extract_dir)   end   notifies :run, "execute[extract-sdk-23]", :immediately end

becomes

remote_file install_file   source node['android']['sdk']['24']['source_url']   not_if     ::file.exists?(extract_dir)   end   notifies :run, "execute[extract-sdk-24]", :immediately end

this code duplication. it'd cleaner keep attributes same vary values.

is possible chef?

if matters use chef-client 0 directly. i.e. don't use knife, etc.

as @stephenking mentioned, best bet write custom resource abstracts logic. put different sdks in hash in node attributes , iterate on them in single recipe, going less flexible.

Android volley - avoid multiple requests of the same kind to the server? -

-
i using volley upload list of images server. happens within service. once image uploaded remove list. problem arises when internet connection breaks. when internet connection breaks , comes again thinking of adding images yet uploaded request queue. this can result in more 1 copy of same image saved on server request same image might have gone through before getting rseponse. how can address scenario? i'm not quite sure why you're using service schedule requests volley automatically runs it's request in seperate thread. nevertheless can listen both request results, successful , unsuccessful adding listeners. you can remove image list schedule request using volley. if succeeds can carry on desired, if fails can add again list. public static request getimageuploadrequest(final string image) { response.listener<t> responselistener = new response.listener<t>() { @override public void onresponse(t response...
