[chef-dev] RE: Opscode Chef installing Eclipse with Plugins on Windows 2012

["Liedike, Michael (US - Philadelphia)" < >]

Hi,

Yes I am using knife winrm to use chef remotely.   I created a local 
administrator and put the user into the local admin group too.

From chef workstation I run the following command:
knife winrm "<Server_IP>" "chef-client -o 
recipe[eclipse_windows::maven_plugin]" -m -x Administrator -P "<password>"

This results in a hung process and eventually times out.

How are you using Chef "remotely" -- you're using knife ssh / knife winrm
to run chef-client?

Subject: [chef-dev] Opscode Chef installing Eclipse with Plugins on
Windows 2012

Hello,

I am install Eclipse on a Windows 2012 using Chef remotely.  I am able to
accomplish this with no issue.  The problem I am running into is
installing
plugins.

It seems that I need the "windows_batch" to run as administrator.  I am
using the knife-windows plugin.  The recipe I am using is below:

windows_batch "install_maven" do
code <<-EOH
C:\\eclipse\\eclipsec.exe -nosplash -application
org.eclipse.equinox.p2.director -repository
http://download.eclipse.org/releases/indigo/,http://repository.sonatype.or
g/content/sites/forge-sites/m2e/0.12.0/S/0.12.0.20101102-1505/
-installIU org.maven.ide.eclipse.feature.feature.group
EOH
end

The issue I see is it just hangs when it reaches this recipe remotely.

The recipe works when I run chef-client locally from a powershell prompt
ran as
administrator and I change "windows_batch" to "batch".  How can I make
this
work when I run this remotely?

Please let me know if you need more details.

Thank you for the help!
Mike
