[chef] Re: Solved: Search Index and roles

[Garret Heaton < >]

Searching for "role:my_role" also doesn't work for me when used in the search() function or the web interface. I've been using `search(:node, "my_role")` in my recipes and that seems to provide the correct results in the few places I've tried it. When I asked in IRC I was told that 0.8 should be improving the search functionality a bit.

Hi again,

I think that now I have it working with run_list:

search(:node, "run_list:role") do |server|
  backend_servers << { "hostname" => server['hostname'],  "ip" => server['ipaddress'] }
end

Is the correct procedure?

Sorry and thanks!

Hi!

I'm writing a cookbook that uses search to find nodes with a certain role in their run_list:

search(:node, "role:somorole") do |server|
   backend_servers << { "hostname" => server['hostname'],  "ip" => server['ipaddress'] }
end

But nothing is returned, then I test:

search(:node, "recipe:ubuntu") do |server|
  backend_servers << { "hostname" => server['hostname'],  "ip" => server['ipaddress'] }
end

But nothing is returned too, I'm sure that I have nodes with the role or recipes (from roles).

search(:node, "*") do |server|
  backend_servers << { "hostname" => server['hostname'],  "ip" => server['ipaddress'] }
end

Is working with all nodes, so:

Is that roles or recipes through roles in search in not supported?

Thanks in advance
Jose Luis
