Installs/Configures PowerShell on the Windows platform
cookbook 'powershell', '= 1.0.4', :supermarket
knife supermarket install powershell
knife supermarket download powershell
Description
Installs and configures PowerShell 2.0. Also includes a resource/provider for executing scripts using the PowerShell interpreter.
Requirements
Platform
- Windows XP
- Windows Server 2003 (R1, R2)
- Windows Vista
- Windows 7
- Windows Server 2008 (R1, R2)
Attributes
Resource/Provider
powershell
Execute a script using the powershell interpreter (much like the script resources for bash, csh, perl, python and ruby). A temporary file is created and executed like other script resources, rather than run inline. By their nature, Script resources are not idempotent, as they are completely up to the user's imagination. Use the not_if
or only_if
meta parameters to guard the resource for idempotence.
Actions
- :run: run the script
Attribute Parameters
- command: name attribute. Name of the command to execute.
- code: quoted string of code to execute.
- creates: a file this command creates - if the file exists, the command will not be run.
- cwd: current working directory to run the command from.
- flags: command line flags to pass to the interpreter when invoking.
- environment: A hash of environment variables to set before running this command.
- user: A user name or user ID that we should change to before running this command.
- group: A group name or group ID that we should change to before running this command.
Examples
# change the computer's hostname
powershell "rename hostname" do
code <<-EOH
$computer_name = Get-Content env:computername
$new_name = 'test-hostname'
$sysInfo = Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_ComputerSystem
$sysInfo.Rename($new_name)
EOH
end
# write out to an interpolated path
powershell "write-to-interpolated-path" do
code <<-EOH
$stream = [System.IO.StreamWriter] "#{Chef::Config[:file_cache_path]}/powershell-test.txt"
$stream.WriteLine("In #{Chef::Config[:file_cache_path]}...word.")
$stream.close()
EOH
end
# use the change working directory attribute
powershell "cwd-then-write" do
cwd Chef::Config[:file_cache_path]
code <<-EOH
$stream = [System.IO.StreamWriter] "C:/powershell-test2.txt"
$pwd = pwd
$stream.WriteLine("This is the contents of: $pwd")
$dirs = dir
foreach ($dir in $dirs) {
$stream.WriteLine($dir.fullname)
}
$stream.close()
EOH
end
# cwd to a winodws env variable
powershell "cwd-to-win-env-var" do
cwd "%TEMP%"
code <<-EOH
$stream = [System.IO.StreamWriter] "./temp-write-from-chef.txt"
$stream.WriteLine("chef on windows rox yo!")
$stream.close()
EOH
end
# pass an env var to script
powershell "read-env-var" do
cwd Chef::Config[:file_cache_path]
environment ({'foo' => 'BAZ'})
code <<-EOH
$stream = [System.IO.StreamWriter] "./test-read-env-var.txt"
$stream.WriteLine("FOO is $foo")
$stream.close()
EOH
end
Usage
default
Include the default recipe in a run list, to ensure PowerShell 2.0 is installed.
On the following versions of Windows the PowerShell 2.0 package will be downloaded from Microsoft and installed:
- Windows XP
- Windows Server 2003
- Windows Server 2008 R1
- Windows Vista
On the following versions of Windows, PowerShell 2.0 is present and must just be enabled:
- Windows 7
- Windows Server 2008 R2
- Windows Server 2008 R2 Core
PLEASE NOTE - The installation may require a restart of the node being configured before PowerShell (or the powershell script resource) can be used (yeah Windows!).
