updating install.bat to allow installation from local path on windows

[vinyar]

please take a look @smurawski

note: i couldn't make the powershell block pretty, seems as if tac (`) doesn't work as a carriage return escape with -command or perhaps ruby is eating.. dunno

[smurawski]

I would do something like

[uri]$uri='#{url}';switch -regex ($uri.scheme){('http(s*)'{$source='#{url}v=%version%'}'default{[$source=(resolve-path (join-path '#{url}' 'chef-client*%version%*.msi')).path)} };(new-object Net.Webclient).DownloadFile(([uri]$source).absoluteuri, '%dest%')}

for the PowerShell command. Casting it to a URI allows you to determine if it is http(s) or a file path (or no scheme if it is a partial path), then you can determine how to append the version details. Using join-path and resolve-path can assemble the file or unc path appropriately and the casting the result of that to a uri allows either the http or file scheme to be used with webclient (no need to switch back and forth between copy or webclient download.

URI exactly what I was looking for. I figured there is a single construct that allows for both. Big thanks, I'll play with it and amend the pull request. Also, I didnt know web-client can download local files via URI :) live and learn.

Gents, let me know when you have something to test.

I'm trying to have this setup work in kitchen to avoid downloading the msi from the internet.

  name: chef_zero
  require_chef_omnibus: 12.0.3
  chef_omnibus_url: file:///c:/share/chef/chef-client-12.0.3-1.msi

Vagrant is not showing this 'vagrant-omnibus' plugin for me. Is it shipped with kitchen?

[10:10:44 /]$ vagrant -v Vagrant 1.7.1 [10:10:17 /]$ vagrant plugin list vagrant-share (1.1.4, system) [10:10:44 /]$

@alexpop I dont think vagrant-omnibus is shipps with chefdk or kitchen. I just add it via
vagrant plugin install vagrant-omnibus

The code in my original pull request works - though it's intended for windows only. It's actually what I'm using at the moment to get my 2k8 vagrant instances updated.

config.vm.synced_folder '~/Documents/ISO_BOX_etc/binaries', "c:/parent_binaries"
config.omnibus.install_url = 'c:\\parent_binaries\\chef_client'

I suspect for Linux instances below will work w/o any changes (it's what's in the read me right now)

config.omnibus.install_url = '/some/local/path'

No, vagrant-omnibus is not shipped nor used by Test Kitchen, see my comment here for more details.
