[chef] Re: RE: Re: execute a scripts included in the cookbook

Execute resource will give u the stdout & stderr of your script in case it breaks, i.e. returns non zero values. It is the responsibility of your power shell script to do the error checking and return a non zero value in case bad things happen. You can run the chef client in debug mode (-l debug) and see if that shows the output. Another option will be to use mixlib/shellout to execute the command inside a ruby_block resource , then you can explicitly print the command.stdout using Chef::Log.info

Hi,

 

Thanks for that pointer.

 

Is there a way to pipe the output of the script back into chef? I am running a powershell script and get a “successfully run” message although it clearly has not run

 

Cheers,

yes you can, you can use the cookbook_file to dirstribute/install the script in a location  (say /usr/local/foo) and use the execute  resource to invoke it (execute "/usr/local/foo"),

HI,

 

I would like to include a native script and execute it from a recipe rather than in-lining it into the recipe.

 

Is this possiblem

 

Cheers,

Florian
