Is there a way to suppress the reboot handler exception (via attribute?)

[rayterrill]

Cookbook version

3.3.2

Chef-client version

12.11.18.1

Platform Details

Server 2012R2

Scenario:

Installing WMF5 using the PowerShell cookbook, and rebooting immediately, which throws the exception. Is there a way to disable this (via an attribute, etc)?

Steps to Reproduce:

node.set['powershell']['installation_reboot_mode'] = 'immediate_reboot'
include_recipe 'powershell::powershell5'

Expected Result:

Provide or identify a mechanism to suppress exception.

Actual Result:

RuntimeError: ruby_block[end_chef_run](powershell::windows_reboot line 16) had an error: RuntimeError: Requested sudden end to the run... I hope this was justified.

This really needs a re-write (I've got a branch in progress) and move to using the core chef reboot resource.

An observation on this: The immediate reboot isn't working for me (Win2012R2, Chef 12.4.1 and 12.12.15). It seems the reboot_pending? guard condition is preventing the reboot handler being notified.

      notifies :request, 'windows_reboot[powershell]', :immediately if reboot_pending? && node['powershell']['installation_reboot_mode'] != 'no_reboot'

The server does reboot at the end of the run as a pending reboot is detected by the handler.

I'm guessing this is the same issue I came to report.
Trying to get powershell v5 installed to try out using dsc_resource.
The windows cookbook seems to have removed the reboot_handler recipe....

This should be fixed via 864f1c5 and we should get a new release of the cookbook out soon.
