Cookbook file converge does not work on first run?

Hi,

i have seen t multiple times in my recipe i dont know whats the root cause,

I make a change in the cookbook file , upload the cookbook & then run
chef-client on the machine.

i see the file changes picked up , but the chef-client run still picks the
old changes in the file , any idea why ?

Am i missing a setting somewhere ,

Here is an example of what is happening, if you look at he logs below, i
changed the value from ‘acc1’,‘acc2’ to acc1,acc2 and it was picked up ,
but even then the chef-client run is creating [/local_app/test/‘acc1’]
… what is wrong.

Please help and advise.

Thanks
MAnoj

That looks like the file is updated correctly but the directory is
not. What does your recipe code look like for the "directory"
resource?

i am not handline anything for that directory resource, shall i do that ?

this is what y recipe looks like

cookbook_file "/local_app/#{node[:tcat][:war_name]}.properties" do
source "#{node[:tcat][:war_name]}.properties"
mode 0777
owner "deploy"
group "deploy"
end

Chef::Log.info " host name is #{node['hostname']} "
host=node['hostname']
puts " hostname is #{host}"
output=Array.new
output1=cat /local_app/order-rest.properties | grep -i "#{host}" | cut -d":" -f2
output1.chomp
output1.delete("\n")
output1.rstrip()
output1.gsub!(/(\n*)$/, '')
output=output1.split","
node.set[:acc_deploy]=output
Chef::Log.info "Found correct value #{output1}, &&&& #{output} "
Chef::Log.info "Found correct value again #{node['acc_deploy']} "

node['acc_deploy'].each do |data|
base=data.to_s
data.chomp
Chef::Log.info "Found correct value wow #{data} "
base="install_tcat_" + data

Chef::Log.info "Found correct value wow #{base} "

directory "/local_app/test/#{data}" do
owner "deploy"
group "deploy"
mode 0755
action :create
notifies :run, "bash[inst_tcat_#{data}]", :immediately
end

bash "inst_tcat_#{data}" do
code <<-EOS
set -e -x
pwd
touch /local_app/test/#{data}/abc.txt
EOS
action :nothing
Chef::Log.info "Found correct value in the loop now #{data}"
end
end

Looks like the "data" variable is being populated with single quotes.
I'd start there.

I don't really know what you're trying to do, because your code seems
to have a lot of debug statements and string manipulation in it. Not
sure what you're trying to build or what problem you're attempting to
solve exactly.
