The test kitchen does not try to restart on the 2012R2 server

Question

My cookbook requires the guest to reboot after installing WMF5 on Windows Server 2012R2.

reboot 'Reboot Windows' do
  action :nothing
end

chocolatey 'DotNet4.5.1' do
  version '4.5.1.20140606'
  action :install
end

chocolatey 'Powershell' do
  version '5.0.10586.20161027'
  action :install
  options ({ '-ignore-package-exit-codes' => '' })
end

powershell_script 'Reboot if PowerShell v4' do
  notifies :reboot_now, 'reboot[Reboot Windows]', :immediately
  only_if { reboot_pending? }
end

When rebooting, the test kitchen will exit the system without trying to shift again. I also can not see the exit code.

How can I capture the exit code that is used to reboot in order to try to collapse again?

Answer 1

I found out the problem.

The default cook client was 12.8.1

I needed to have a minimum version of 12.11 for correctly returning exit codes
