Hi guys,

 

 

I have a quick question for you, is the following normal (chef-11.6 on windows):

irb(main):004:0> require 'ohai/mixin/command'

=> true

irb(main):005:0>

irb(main):006:0*

irb(main):007:0*

irb(main):008:0*

irb(main):009:0* include Ohai::Mixin::Command

=> Object

irb(main):010:0>

irb(main):011:0*

irb(main):012:0*

irb(main):013:0* popen4('arp')

NameError: uninitialized constant Fcntl::F_SETFD

        from (irb):13

        from C:/opscode/chef/embedded/bin/irb:12:in `<main>'

irb(main):014:0>

 

 

I saw an old post regarding this issue in 2010, is there something I don’t understand?

Ohai’s command mixin doesn’t support windows. You should use mixlib-shellout instead.

e.g.,

require ‘mixlib/shellout’

cmd = Mixlib::ShellOut.new(“arp”)

cmd.run_command

print cmd.stdout
