[chef] knife node & search information not being updated

[Kevin Nuckolls < >]

I got chef-server set up and a repository with a proper knife.rb file containing correct ec2 keys. I can communicate with the chef-server via knife. For example, the following works:

$ knife client list

  chef-validator

  chef-webui

  kevin

  ubuntu

I fired up a node with knife ec2 server create. It ran the run-list and I can log in and it works properly. The problem is that the knife node list does not seem to be updated.

$ knife node list -VVV

<ONE BLANK LINE>

$

Additionally, it does not appear that the node's information has been indexed in search:

$ knife search node "ec2:[* TO *]" -r

0 items found

Any ideas?
