Look in the transaction for the 'skip?' method -- this is where you
should have the transaction check to see if a resource passes all of
its checks.
E.g., you'd have a method like this on the resource:
def passes_checks?
...iterate over each provided check and run it...
end
And in the transaction:
def skip?
...existing code...
elsif ! resource.passes_checks?
return false
...
end
With tests, of course. :)
