[chef] Re: How to parse out ShellOut

[Brandon Raabe < >]

Sachin,

You can check and see if shell_out returned an error using the '.error?' method. As an example:

command = shell_out("command to be run")

if command.error?

  # do something to handle the error

else

  # do something else

end

How you integrate this with your recipe/cookbook will depend a little more on the specifics of your use-case.

HTH,

Hi All,

I am working on a use case where I am looking a way to parse out ShellOut and issue a reboot if the condition is met?  I’ve highlighted what I need to look for to issue a reboot.

Mixlib::ShellOut::ShellCommandFailed
------------------------------------
Expected process to exit with [0], but received '1'
---- Begin output of "powershell.exe" -NoLogo -NonInteractive -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -InputFormat None -File "C:/Users/ADMINI~1/AppData/Local/Temp/2/chef-script20150213-808-kkqdzx.ps1" ----STDOUT:
STDERR: Please restart the computer before trying to install more roles/features
---- End output of "powershell.exe" -NoLogo -NonInteractive -NoProfile -Executio

Thanks & Regards,
