Dan,

I tried your suggestion like this:

script =<<-EOF

$processLog = 'C:\\Temp\\Chef_PS_Log.txt'

function Date { Get-Date -Format 'yyyy/dd/MM HH:mm:ss' }

Add-Content $processLog (($date=Date) + ' ' + '----- 1. Inside

Install_IIS_Check ----')

$x = Get-WindowsFeature -name "Web-Server"

$status = 0

if($x -ne $null)

{

$installed = $x.Installed

if($installed -eq $false)

{

Add-Content $processLog (($date=Date) + ' ' + 'IIS is

not installed')

$status = 1

}

else

{

Add-Content $processLog (($date=Date) + ' ' + 'IIS is

already installed. Install_IIS step will be skipped')

$status = 0

}

}

Add-Content $processLog "`n"

return $status

EOF

powershell_script "Install_IIS" do

code <<-EOH

$processLog = 'C:\\Temp\\Chef_PS_Log.txt'

function Date { Get-Date -Format 'yyyy/dd/MM HH:mm:ss' }

Add-Content $processLog (($date=Date) + ' ' + '----- 1-1 Inside

Install_IIS ----')

Add-Content $processLog (($date=Date) + ' ' + 'IIS Server role is not

installed ')

#Install-WindowsFeature -name "Web-Server" -IncludeManagementTools

-IncludeAllSubFeature -WhatIf

Install-WindowsFeature -name "Web-Server" -IncludeManagementTools

-IncludeAllSubFeature

EOH

only_if do

cmd = powershell_out(script)

cmd.stdout.chop == '1'

end

# { x == '1' }

end

On running chef-client I get the following error:

NoMethodError

-------------

undefined method `powershell_out' for Chef::Resource::PowershellScript

Any idea if that is expected?

Thanks

It looks like the powershell_out helper isn’t being included into the resource DSL. I’m asking around about the best ways to deal with this. The two options that come to mind are to manually include the powershell_out module into the resource DSL, or to create a powershell_out command object by hand.
