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("
FlexnetDB Full Installation
")
end
windows_batch “FlexnetDB Upgrade Installation” do
not_if {true}
Chef::Log.info("
FlexnetDB Upgrade Installation
")
end
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.

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.

Or use a 'log' resource/resources with action :nothing and notify it/them
from each windows_batch.
A ruby_block (ruby_block Resource https://docs.chef.io/resource_ruby_block.html) is a Chef resource and it can receive notifications or use guards like any other resource.
ruby_block “something only once” do
block do
puts “I’m only going to tell you once…”
end
only_if { check_prereqs() }
end
If the logic is complicated enough, you can also write your own idempotent resource which only runs when necessary.

Thanks to all who replied.
The logging logic was just an example. I want to use Chef resources so I can’t put code in a ruby_block, unless I create discrete Chef objects. I know how to do that, but I’m trying to simplify my cookbooks for now.
