Additionally we are able to have a higher fidelity # conversation with PowerShell because we are now working with the objects that # are returned by the script, rather than having to parse the stdout of # powershell.exe to get a result. # # *How does this work?* In .NET terms, when you run a PowerShell script block # through the engine, behind the scenes you get a Collection returned # and simply we are serializing this, adding any errors that were generated to # a custom JSON string transferred in memory to Ruby. The easiest way to # develop for this approach is to imagine that the last thing that happens in # your PowerShell script block is "ConvertTo-Json". That's exactly what we are # doing here behind the scenes. # # There are a handful of current limitations with this approach: # - Windows UAC elevation is controlled by the token assigned to the account # that Ruby.exe is running under. # - Terminating errors will result in a WIN32OLERuntimeError and typically are # handled as an exception. # - There are no return/error codes, as we are not shelling out to # powershell.exe but calling a method inline, no errors codes are returned. # - There is no settable timeout on powershell_exec method execution. # - It is not possible to impersonate another user running powershell, the # credentials of the user running Chef Client are used. # class Chef module Mixin module PowershellExec # Run a command under PowerShell via a managed (.NET) COM interop API. # This implementation requires the managed dll to be registered on the # target machine. # # Requires: .NET Framework 4.0 or higher on the target machine. # # @param script [String] script to run # @return [Chef::PowerShell] output def powershell_exec(script) Chef::PowerShell.new(script) end # The same as the #powershell_exec method except this will raise # Chef::PowerShell::CommandFailed if the command fails def powershell_exec!(script) cmd = Chef::PowerShell.new(script) cmd.error! cmd end end end end
