[chef] Windows Package Notify If Installed

["Gibbons, Daniel (RBI-UK)" < >]

Hi,

 

I’m trying to create a recipe to install an application which needs additional configuration after installation so I’m trying to go down the Chef route of using “notifies” but I can’t seem to get it to work:

 

windows_batch "test" do

  code <<-EOH

       echo DAN WAS HERE!!!

  EOH

end

               

windows_package "MarkLogic Server" do

source node['markLogic']['installUrl']

action :install

notifies :run, 'windows_batch[test]', :delayed

end

 

Even though the application doesn’t reinstall it always executes the “test”.  I could just do all of this in PowerShell instead but it kind of defeats the object of using Chef.

 

Any suggestions/solutions appreciated as I can’t find anything in the docs to help.

 

Thanks

 

Dan
