问题

I am having syntax errors and I am unsure how to resolve them. In the roles file I have defined the fallowing:

default_attributes(
  'jdk' => {
    'version' => '1.8.0_31'
  },
  'java' => {
    'home' => '/usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.8.0_31'
  },
)

I try to use the java home in the following, but it fails to run

execute "update_alt_java" do
  command "update-alternatives --install "/usr/bin/java" "java" "#{node['java']['home']}/bin/java" 1"
  action :creates
end

I get the following error

SyntaxError

/etc/chef/src/cookbooks/jdk/recipes/default.rb:50: syntax error, unexpected tSTRING_BEG, expecting keyword_do or '{' or '('
...tives --install "/usr/bin/java" "java" "#{node['java']['home...

回答1:

Are you using the community java cookbook?

It includes an LWRP for this purpose:

# set alternatives for java and javac commands
java_alternatives "set java alternatives" do
    java_location '/usr/local/java'
    bin_cmds ["java", "javac"]
    action :set
end

Update: "my_java" wrapper cookbook example

The following is a sample cookbook called "my_java" designed to install the oracle JDK on Ubuntu:

├── attributes
│   └── java.rb   <-- Used for java cookbook attribute overrides
├── Berksfile
├── Berksfile.lock
├── metadata.rb
├── README.md
└── recipes
    └── default.rb

After running chef the oracle JDK is intalled

$ java -version
java version "1.8.0_31"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_31-b13)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.31-b07, mixed mode)

Notes:

This cookbook relies on overriding attributes. This could just as easily be done from a chef environment or role.

metadata.rb

name             'my_java'
maintainer       'Mark O''Connor'
maintainer_email 'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX'
license          'All rights reserved'
description      'Installs/Configures my_java'
long_description 'Installs/Configures my_java'
version          '0.1.0'

depends "apt"
depends "java"

attribute/java.rb

normal['java']['jdk_version'] = '8'
normal['java']['install_flavor'] = 'oracle'
normal['java']['oracle']['accept_oracle_download_terms'] = true

Notes:

By default java will install openJDK. These overrides specify v8 of OracleJDK

recipes/default.rb

include_recipe "apt"
include_recipe "java"

Notes:

Obviously the "apt" cookbook only applies to Debian based linux. This recipe would require minor tweaking to work on redhat as well.

回答2:

You should escape all double quotes in your command string, because it starts and ends with double quotes.

There is no action :creates for execute resource. The action should be :run.

execute "update_alt_java" do
  command "update-alternatives --install \"/usr/bin/java\" \"java\" \"#{node['java']['home']}/bin/java\" 1"
  action :run
end

But you don't want to run this resource on every chef run, so you should come up with some kind of condition, when it should be run (using only_if, not_if statements).
