[chef] RE: recipe_url with windows

[Adam Edwards < >]

Kevin, this looks like the following known issue that is being worked on
now. Does this only repro for you with chef-solo Kevin?

https://github.com/opscode/chef/issues/1515
https://tickets.opscode.com/browse/CHEF-5333

I'm not aware of workarounds at the moment, though if it's a chef-solo
thing my first suggestion is to try chef local mode.

Kevin, I'm sorry that you're hitting this problem.

Subject: [chef] recipe_url with windows

Anyone get this working?  I have tried various things, but keep running in
to an issue where the tar command to extract the cookbooks fails with:

c:/opscode/chef/embedded/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/chef-11.12.4-x86-mingw32

Digging through the code there is nothing that jumps out at me.  The
interesting thing is that if I do a pry break in the method which causes a
delay in processing, then it works.  So seems like there is a weird race
condition in here.

Just curious if others have tried to get this working and have a solution?

Thanks!!

Kevin
