Enabled | Yes | All Versions |
A resource guard (not_if/only_if) that is a string should not be wrapped in {}
. Wrapping a guard string in {} causes it to be executed as Ruby code which will always return true instead of a shell command that will actually run.
Examples
incorrect
template '/etc/foo' do
mode '0644'
source 'foo.erb'
only_if { 'test -f /etc/foo' }
end
correct
template '/etc/foo' do

source 'foo.erb'
only_if 'test -f /etc/foo'
end
