I'm new to Chef world, currently trying to write a cookbook with a single recipe to install a Nagios NRPE on windows server. where I included a bash script in the recipe to execute a set of commands.
However when I run kitchen converge, I constantly receive the below error. I tried lot of variations in "recipie", going through stack-overflow and other online forums which didn't work
please help.
Please let me know if any additional details required
Recipe
execute 'setup.bash' do
cwd '\templates\Setup.bash.sh'
command './setup.bash.sh' end
error

make sure that you state your cookbook dependencies within your cookbook metadata.rb, such as
# metadata.rb
depends "Nagios_NRPE"
though, seems that you meant nrpe and not Nagios_NRPE.
make sure knife cookbooks_path is configured correctly.
now depends how you handle cookbook dependencies, whether it is chef (using a Policyfile or berkshelf (using a Berksfile), make sure to download cookbook dependencies.
