'log' resource ignores the 'message' attribute, and will always use the name of the resource as the message

[mromero-convoso]

Description

The 'log' resource, when used in a recipe, ignores the 'message' attribute and instead will use whatever the name of the log resource is as its message.

The following will always spit out "message"

log 'message' do
  message 'This is the message that should be added to the log.'
  level :info
end

I discovered this while trying to do something with lazy evaluation:

log 'dummy message' do  # ignores the 'message' value and always spits out 'dummy message'
  message lazy { node.run_state[:dump_master_log_file] }
end

Chef Version

18.4.2

Platform Version

Ubuntu 20.04 LTS

Replication Case

The most minimal example I can think of would be:

log 'dummy message' do
  message 'this is a much better message'
end

Expected output should be 'this is a much better message'

Client Output

log[dummy message] action write
