How to move/copy files locally with Chef -


i haven't yet come across chef resource copy/move files locally. example, want download jetty hightide , unzip it. once done, copy files particular folder, this:

# mv /var/tmp/jetty-hightide-7.4.5.v20110725/* /opt/jetty/

btw, jettyhightide when unzipped, gives folder , inside folder rest of files located. hence unzip jetty-hightide-7.4.5.v20110725.zip -d /opt/jetty/ useless because create directory /opt/jetty/jetty-hightide-7.4.5.v20110725/* whereas want /opt/jetty/*. hence looking local copy/move resource in chef.

how copy single file

first way

i use file statement copy file (compile-time check)

file "/etc/init.d/someservice"   owner 'root'   group 'root'   mode 0755   content ::file.open("/home/someservice").read   action :create end

here :

  • "/etc/init.d/someservice" - target file,
  • "/home/someservice" - source file

also can wrap ::file.open("/home/someservice").read in lazy block

... lazy { ::file.open("/home/someservice").read } ...

second way

user remote_file statement (run-time check)

remote_file "copy service file"    path "/etc/init.d/someservice"    source "file:///home/someservice"   owner 'root'   group 'root'   mode 0755 end

third way

also can use shell/batch

for-each directory

dir[ "/some/directory/resources/**/*" ].each |curr_path|   file "/some/target/dir/#{pathname.new(curr_path).basename}"     owner 'root'     group 'root'     mode 0755     content lazy { io.read(curr_path, mode: 'rb').read }     action :create   end if file.file?(curr_path)   directory "/some/target/dir/#{file.dirname(curr_path)}"     path curr_path     owner 'root'     group 'root'     mode 0755     action :create   end if file.directory?(curr_path) end

this idea, because sub-paths in example not handled correctly.
