Duh on me, that makes sense.

 

The logging code was just test code. I want to do something real between the do-ends, but only do it once. I want to use chef resources so I’m shying away from ruby_block for this one.

The block (code between do/end) is still evaluated, otherwise not_if/only_if wouldn’t fire. cwd/cmd are conditional on the only_if/not_if directives.

 

If you need to run ruby code conditionally (such as logging) use a ruby_block and notifies.

I’m testing logic where I only do one of the windows_batch resource below, but for some reason, I see both logs. Note: I will eventually replace the {true} with a node attribute that I set.

 

What am I missing?

 

windows_batch "FlexnetDB Full Installation" do

  only_if {true}

  Chef::Log.info("

***************************************************

end

 

windows_batch "FlexnetDB Upgrade Installation" do
