Scenario:

When trying to set some variable not included in the list of mariadb_server_configuration:

mariadb_configuration 'extra_innodb' do
section 'mysqld'
option :innodb_thread_concurrency => 8,
:innodb_commit_concurrency => 8,
:innodb_read_io_threads => 8,
:innodb_flush_log_at_trx_commit => 1
end

Steps to Reproduce:

Include the scenario inside a cookbook recipe.

Expected Result:

Create a file inside /etc/mysql/conf.d/extra_innodb.cnf with the values:

[mysqld]
innodb_thread_concurrency = 8
innodb_commit_concurrency = 8
innodb_read_io_threads = 8
innodb_flush_log_at_trx_commit = 1

Actual Result:

An error from chef client stating:

NoMethodError: undefined method `ext_conf_dir' for Custom resource mariadb_configuration from cookbook mariadb

Same here.
Is there any fix I should be aware of?

We're short on maintainers for mariadb at the moment, sadly. We'd welcome a PR if you wanted to take a crack at it!

@aalmenar @askz here's the first use of the ext_conf_dir helper: 3d1850f.

I suspect the issue is that resources/configuration.rb doesn't have the line include MariaDBCookbook::Helpers like resources/server_configuration.rb:19. Someone want to try adding the line and seeing if it works?

Good guess @josephholsten ! My bad, i forget it while rewriting the whole cookbook for 2.0.0 version. The ext_conf_dir is a method of the helper, and so you need to include the helper to use that method there. Will submit a PR to correct, and add tests so that i won't forget it next time.

Just merged the correction in master, @aalmenar could you test it in your case please ? If it's ok, you can close it :-D
