Hi Kapil,

Thank for youe answer!

 

It didn’t work for me. The source of the error moved to the library instead of the recipe.

See below:

I feel like I miss something very basic.

Few months ago I ran into same issue and I was suggested on this forum to have a “library” file with following content:

 

class Chef

  class Resource

    include Chef::Mixin::PowershellOut

  end

end

 

This helped me. Try that and see if it works for you.

 

Thanks

Hello all,

 

I’m trying to use the powershell_out command, but get an error while including the Chef::Mixin::PowerShellOut.

 

This is my recipe:

Chef::Resource.send(:include, Chef::Mixin::WindowsArchitectureHelper)

Chef::Resource.send(:include, Chef::Mixin::PowershellOut)

 

cmd = powershell_out!('write-host Hello World');

Chef::Log::info("cmd.stdout = #{cmd.stdout}")

Chef::Log::info("cmd.stderr = #{cmd.stderr}")

 

 

And this is the error I get:

================================================================================

Recipe Compile Error in c:/chef/cache/cookbooks/lan_driver/recipes/default.rb

================================================================================

 

NameError

---------

uninitialized constant Chef::Mixin::PowershellOut

Please note that there is no error at the first line (Chef::Resource.send(:include, Chef::Mixin::WindowsArchitectureHelper)), only at the second line.

I added the first line just for debugging.

 

I use Chef version 11.12.8.

 

What do I miss here?

 

Thanks,

Raanan.
