Chef IIS Cookbook thirty_two_bit option not working

Question

I have a resource block to create an app pool, make thirty_two_bit option as true and assign an username and password.

iis_pool 'CPool' do
runtime_version "2.0"
pipeline_mode :"Classic"
recycle_after_time "0"
thirty_two_bit true
pool_username "testuser"
pool_password "testpd"
action :add

It creates an app pool but the following options didn't work.

recycle_after_time "0"
thirty_two_bit true
pool_username "testuser"
pool_password "testpd"

I am wondering if it is a bug. Any notes on this is appreciated - Eben

You are mixing two different actions together. Viewing the Chef source here I can tell that you want to call both :add to create the pool and then :config to do the rest. So break it up as:

iis_pool 'CPool' do
   runtime_version "2.0"
   pipeline_mode :"Classic"
action :add

iis_pool 'CPool' do
   recycle_after_time "0"
   thirty_two_bit true
   pool_username "testuser"
   pool_password "testpd"
action :config
