EACCESS error with remote_file resource on Windows

Chef Infra (archive)
1

I need your help for something, although there is enough documentation around
resources - I am kind of stuck at a place where I am not able to figure out the
best way to proceed further. So thought of checking with you. Here is the
situation:

I am writing a cookbook for a Windows 2008 R2; workstation on Win 7, whose
default recipe should download a zip from FTP and create it on the host. I am
using remote_file resource for it.
Below is the code in the default.rb recipe:

directory “c:\working” do
recursive true
action :delete
end

directory “c:\working” do
rights :full_control, [“Administrators”,“Everyone”,“asharad”],
:applies_to_children => true
inherits false
action :create
end

remote_file “c:\working\cps.zip” do
source “#{node[‘deploy910cps’][‘cps_zip’]}” # source attribute has value like
"ftp://hostname/910/working/cps.zip"
rights :full_control, [“Administrators”,“Everyone”,“asharad”],
:applies_to_childern => true
action :create
end

Not thing much 1. del the working dir, 2. create a working dir with the
permissions, 3. use the remote_file resource to create the zip under c:\working

What I am seeing chef-client log is:
[2013-10-10T21:01:15+05:30] INFO: remote_file[c:\working\cps.zip] created file

Please suggest what could be it, I am wondering if it is a bug and if I can
have a workaround. chef client on the node is on version: INFO: *** Chef 11.6.0

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I think I’ve seen issues with this – can you try adding this attribute to
the resource:

atomic_update false

and see if this helps?

Hey Adam

This helps, it works well now!
BTW is this a new addition? I don't see it in recourse remote_file's
documentation....

Cheers

Aniket, this is a regression, probably in 11.6.0 – you shouldn’t have to add this attribute, and this usage without the attribute worked fine in previous releases. Also, there is no need for the workaround on non-Windows platforms.

I’ve opened ticket https://tickets.opscode.com/browse/CHEF-4625 to cover this.

Thank you for reporting this to the mailing list, and my apologies for the need to work around this until we correct the regression.
