Chef resource dynamic notification

expected.rb

# This has the intended behavior, but I need to declare the log[bar] at the end

log "bar" do
  action :nothing
end

log "foo" do
  begin
    notifies :write, resources("log[bar]").to_s, :immediately
  rescue Chef::Exceptions::ResourceNotFound
    Chef::Log.info("No log[bar] resource present. Skipping notification.")
  end
end

# OUTPUT:
#  * log[bar] action nothing (skipped due to action :nothing)
#  * log[foo] action write
#  
#  * log[bar] action write

not-expected.rb

# I want this code to behave just as the code in the previous file, but
# also need to keep the resource declaration in this order

log "foo" do
  begin
    notifies :write, resources("log[bar]").to_s, :immediately
  rescue Chef::Exceptions::ResourceNotFound
    Chef::Log.info("No log[bar] resource present. Skipping notification.")
  end
end

log "bar" do
  action :nothing
end

# OUTPUT:
# * log[foo] action write
#  
# * log[bar] action nothing (skipped due to action :nothing)
