chef_handler v1.2.0
Process
-------
The :custom installer_type works on windows 2012 R2 with chefDK 0.6.2(chef-client 12.3.0) and the latest versions of the windows and chef_handler cookbooks.
You can store the test-package-cookbook, chef_handler, and windows cookbooks in a c:\cookbooks directory, then do the chef-client run from c:\ as the Administrator.
You will need to include the windows recipe in the test-package-cookbook's default.rb recipe, before the windows_package resource, like
include_recipe "windows"
windows_package 'Mozilla Firefox 5.0 (x86 en-US)' do
source 'http://archive.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/5.0/win32/en-US/Firefox%20Setup%205.0.exe'
options '-ms'
installer_type :custom
action :install
end
Then, in the metadata.rb of the test-package-cookbook, you need to depend on the windows cookbook like this
depends "windows"
The run will look like this, where the -r option defines the run_list and chef-client in local mode automatically looks for a cookbooks directory in the current directory.
C:\>chef-client -z -r test-package-cookbook
