[chef] Chef Notify Before?

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

Hi,

 

I’m just working on a recipe and what I’d like to be able to do is if a package isn’t installed it should go and get the required files before running, something like:

 

windows_batch "unzip_vs2010" do

  code <<-EOH

  "#{zippath}" x "#{vs2010_iso_location}" -o#{vs2010_extraction_path} -r -y

  EOH

  action: nothing

end

windows_package "#{node['vs-2010']['base-display-name'] }" do

  source "#{vs2010setup}"

  options "/q /norestart /unattendfile \"#{unattendini}\""

  installer_type :custom

  action :install

  notifies :run, 'windows_batch[unzip_vs2010]', :before

end

 

Is there an easy way to do this?

 

Thanks

 

Dan
