Thanks for you help Adam and creating a ticket to cover it!

Aniket, this is a regression, probably in 11.6.0 – you shouldn’t have to add this attribute, and this usage without the attribute worked fine in previous releases. Also, there is no need for the workaround on non-Windows platforms.

 

I’ve opened ticket https://tickets.opscode.com/browse/CHEF-4625 to cover this.

 

Thank you for reporting this to the mailing list, and my apologies for the need to work around this until we correct the regression.

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

Aniket

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?

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
file c:\working\cps.zip

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.
