recipe_url with windows

Moser_Kevin · July 30, 2014, 5:07pm

Anyone get this working? I have tried various things, but keep running in to an issue where the tar command to extract the cookbooks fails with:

c:/opscode/chef/embedded/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/chef-11.12.4-x86-mingw32/lib/chef/mixin/command.rb:141:in block in ou tput_of_command': undefined methodexitstatus’ for nil:NilClass (NoMethodError)

from c:/opscode/chef/bin/chef-solo:23:in `’

Digging through the code there is nothing that jumps out at me. The interesting thing is that if I do a pry break in the method which causes a delay in processing, then it works. So seems like there is a weird race condition in here.

Just curious if others have tried to get this working and have a solution?

Thanks!!

Kevin, this looks like the following known issue that is being worked on
now. Does this only repro for you with chef-solo Kevin?

https://tickets.opscode.com/browse/CHEF-5333

I’m not aware of workarounds at the moment, though if it’s a chef-solo
thing my first suggestion is to try chef local mode.

Kevin, I’m sorry that you’re hitting this problem.

This is actually a different issue. This is if you use ³\² instead of ³/³
in path. That is due to this line:

github.com

chef/chef/blob/main/lib/chef/application/solo.rb#L1


      
          #
          # Author:: AJ Christensen (<aj@chef.io>)
          # Author:: Mark Mzyk (mmzyk@chef.io)
          # Copyright:: Copyright (c) Chef Software Inc.
          # License:: Apache License, Version 2.0

The workaround for that one is to switch file separator so c:/chef instead
of c:\chef

Once you get past that one, then they are going to hit the issue below.
