gem_package[sensu-plugins-windows] action install

[gopalvd]

Hi,

I have used the below code snippet in my cookbook recipe, I tried this on windows server.

sensu_gem 'sensu-plugins-windows' do
version '0.0.10'
end

When the recipe is executed, the plugins are copied to C:/opt/sensu/embedded/bin directory. Actually I was expected this in C:/etc/sensu/plugins directory.
Can you show some light why its is going to C:/opt/sensu/embedded/bin directory, and where is this defined in the sensu cookbook.?

when you install as a gem it will be placed under the embedded ruby path which would be /opt/sensu/embedded/bin. For any plugins you choose to not package as gems you can install it it would best be placed under /etc/sensu/plugins

If you want to see the code that makes this work:

• determining the path for binary command for gem: https://github.com/sensu/sensu-chef/blob/v4.0.2/libraries/sensu_helpers.rb#L31-L39
• installing a gem with the sensu embedded ruby: https://github.com/sensu/sensu-chef/blob/v4.0.2/providers/gem.rb#L1-L10 which is essnetially just wrapping up the built in chef functionality: https://docs.chef.io/resource_gem_package.html if you want to read throught the source further down the stack its here: https://github.com/chef/chef/blob/12.6-release/lib/chef/provider/package/rubygems.rb
