How do I make Chef wait for application deployment before moving files?

I have the following chef's recipe

aws_s3_file "/usr/share/tomcat/webapps/system.war" do
  bucket "mybucket"
  remote_path "builds/system_latest.war"
  aws_access_key_id node[:aws_access_key_id]
  aws_secret_access_key node[:aws_secret_access_key]
end

service "tomcat" do
  action [:restart]
end

aws_s3_file "/usr/share/tomcat/webapps/system/WEB-INF/application.properties" do
  bucket "mybucket"
  remote_path "config/application.properties"
  aws_access_key_id node[:aws_access_key_id]
  aws_secret_access_key node[:aws_secret_access_key]
end

It works fine every time I start it, except the machine is new.

When this is a new car I get:

Errno :: ENOENT ------------- No such file or directory - / usr / share / tomcat / webapps / system / WEB-INF / application.properties

I think this is because tomcat is not running when the application is deployed, so the folder does not exist when this statement is run.

I am assuming that moving files around the application during deployment is a common procedure. How can I do this and ensure that the boss waits until the deployment is complete?

Write some code (maybe in Ruby or Bash) to ask if Tomcat is done when you put it in a while loop.



ruby_block 'wait for tomcat' do
  block do
    true until ::File.exists?('/usr/share/tomcat/webapps/system/WEB-INF')
  end
end
