not_if not being respected in execute resource?

Chef Infra (archive)

or maybe i’m doing something silly and don’t see it yet…

i have a recipe that downloads and unpacks a tarball. my intention for
this is to have it download only if the target directory does not
exist on the node. but what’s happening is, the tarball gets downloaded
on each run.

am i using “not_if” correctly below? any suggestions?

thanks!

if File.directory?("/usr/java/jdk#{java_version}.hoight.#{m_arch}")

after the first run, the above line is true

Chef::Log.debug(“HIGGS-BOSON: dir exists: /usr/java/jdk#{java_version}.hoight.#{m_arch}”)
end

execute “install_jdk_tarball” do
user "root"
cwd "/usr/java"
command “curl -s http://#{depot}/depot/jdk#{java_version}.hoight.#{m_arch}.tgz | tar zxf -“
not_if {File.directory?(”#{java_home}/jdk#{java_version}.hoight.#{m_arch}”)}
end

The obvious question: does java_home exist? Your print statement and
the not_if are not identical...
