That's referring to its exit status code, not the actual output to

STDOUT. An exit code of zero is succesful. When you run it from the

command line what happens when you run 'echo $?' as the next command?

If the command succeeds you can tell chef what codes are considered to

be successful with the returns attribute. Try adding

returns: ['']

to your bash resource call.

Hi there, I try to develop a fix for the maven lwrp

(https://github.com/opscode-cookbooks/maven) and have run acros this problem:

When ein run "kitchen test" in the master of the git repo I see:

2013-05-05T15:32:21+00:00] DEBUG: Mixlib::ShellOut::ShellCommandFailed:

maven[mysql-connector-java] (maven::test line 6) had an error:

Mixlib::ShellOut::ShellCommandFailed: Expected process to exit with [0], but

received ''

The output from the shell command looks like there is actually no error and it

is in the middle of execution (actually downloading, since its maven..) when

somethingh goes wrong. If I run the command from outside chef is succeeds. Is

there a way to get a better Error Description from Mixlib:ShellOut? Anybody

seen it failing with status '' ?

You commonly see a null exit status if a process is terminated will the kill signal (e.g., kill -9). oomkiller, perhaps?
