[chef] Problem calling Win32::Service from recipe

[Peter Loron < >]

I've got a simple recipe I'm working on to set up some of our custom Windows 
services. I'm trying to invoke the win32-service gem to check for the 
existence of a service. I'm using Chef 11.2.0.

When I make the chef-client run, it fails with a "Recipe Compile Error", 
"uninitialized constant Chef::Win32::Service".

The recipe code is below. I'm sure I'm just missing something basic but I'm 
not sure what. I've found other examples of Chef code out there using this 
syntax. I looked down in the bowels of the omnibus installed ruby and the 
win32-service gem is there, and I don't get an error on the require. When I 
run something like this from the command-line on the client box, it succeeds. 
The omnibus ruby is the only one on that machine.

Any pointers? Clue stick? Thanks.



require 'win32/service'

target_service = "BogusServiceName"

if Win32::Service.exists?(target_service)
                Chef::Log.info target_service + "Found!"
        else
                Chef::Log.info target_service + "NOT Found!"
end
