Error in running python script through python resource

Chef Infra (archive)

Hi all,

I am trying to run a simple python script using python resource of chef-cookbook. Here is what my recipe looks like:

filename = "test.py"
python “excute_file” do
cwd '/home/peeyush/'
code <<-EOH
python #{filename}
EOH
action :run
end

The error I am getting is:

Recipe: hellochef::default

  • python[excute_file] action run
    ================================================================================
    Error executing action run on resource ‘python[excute_file]’

You are generating a python script that contains the code

python test.py

which will cause an error when passed to the Python interpreter:

$ cat test.py
python test.py
$ python test.py
File "test.py", line 1
python test.py
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

If you want to execute an external script, just use the 'execute'
resource. However, if you want to execute in-line python, then just
write the Python code in the "code" attribute.
