[chef] Re: RE: EACCESS error with remote_file resource on Windows

Hey Adam

This helps, it works well now!

BTW is this a new addition? I don't see it in recourse remote_file's documentation....

Cheers

I think I've seen issues with this -- can you try adding this attribute to
the resource:

    atomic_update false

and see if this helps?

Subject: [chef] EACCESS error with remote_file resource on Windows


I need your help for something, although there is enough documentation
around resources - I am kind of stuck at a place where I am not able to
figure out the best way to proceed further. So thought of checking with you.
Here is the
situation:

I am writing a cookbook for a Windows 2008 R2; workstation on Win 7, whose
default recipe should download a zip from FTP and create it on the host. I
am using remote_file resource for it.
Below is the code in the default.rb recipe:

directory "c:\\working" do
  recursive true
  action :delete
end

directory "c:\\working" do
  rights :full_control, ["Administrators","Everyone","asharad"],
:applies_to_children => true
  inherits false
  action :create
end

remote_file "c:\\working\\cps.zip" do
  source "#{node['deploy910cps']['cps_zip']}" # source attribute has value
like "ftp://hostname/910/working/cps.zip"
  rights :full_control, ["Administrators","Everyone","asharad"],
:applies_to_childern => true
  action :create
end

Not thing much 1. del the working dir, 2. create a working dir with the
permissions, 3. use the remote_file resource to create the zip under
c:\working

What I am seeing chef-client log is:
[2013-10-10T21:01:15+05:30] INFO: remote_file[c:\working\cps.zip] created

The stack trace suggest the below:

Please suggest what could be it, I am wondering if it is a bug and if I can
have a workaround. chef client on the node is on version: INFO: *** Chef
11.6.0

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
