[chef] Troubleshooting powershell_script resource

[Kapil Shardha < >]

Hi All,

 

I have been working on writing a new recipe that makes use of powershell_script resource. I had some syntax error in the script code but it was not pointed out by chef-client run. Rather, the chef-client run would say that the resource ran successfully. Though I was able to find out the syntax error later but I was wondering if there is a better way to troubleshoot syntax errors in powershell_script resource. I tried running chef-client with –l debug switch but that gave not much information either.

 

I have seen similar behavior with the use of quotation marks and I had to escape those with “\” to make it work.

 

Thanks
