CHEF / knife - running shell script

Question

I'm using a script to collect build spec information from the user, then using knife to clone and build a VM to spec. CHEF then copies some shell scripts to the provisioned node, then I execute those scripts using "knife ssh".

This works fine:

template '/path/to/filename.sh' do
  source 'filename.sh.erb'
  mode 755
end

This doesn't:

cookbook_file '/path/to/filename.sh' do
  source 'filename.sh'
  mode 755
end

The contents of the filename.sh.erb and filename.sh are identical. The error message I get is as follows:

DEMO-CCM2.t3fca.com bash: /tmp/C3_Component_Install.sh: /bin/bash^M: bad interpreter: No such file or directory

The very top of both files looks like this:

#!/bin/bash

If I go to the host and try to run the script manually, all of the following work just fine:

sh C3_Component_Install.sh
/bin/bash C3_Component_Install.sh
/usr/bin/bash C3_Component_Install.sh
/tmp/C3_Component_Install.sh

So I don't know what's wrong. Thanks in advance for any help.

You are saving the file with Windows newlines, which cookbook_file recreated for you while the template fixed during processing. If you save using Unix newlines it would be the same.
