[chef] Running knife bootstrap programatically

[Haim Ashkenazi < >]

Hi

I was wondering if there's a way to run knife bootstrap not as a command, but as API call? (Sorry if it's already been answered but it's really hard to search the mailing list).

I tried using something simple like (ignore the redefinition of ARGV :):

require 'chef/knife/bootstrap'

ARGV = ["some.host", "-x", "ubuntu", "-r", "role[test]", "--sudo"]

Chef::Knife::Bootstrap.new.run

Running this I got an error:

/Users/haim/.rvm/gems/ /gems/chef-0.10.2/lib/chef/knife/core/ui.rb:96: warning: toplevel constant Config referenced by Chef::Config

/Users/haim/.rvm/gems/ /gems/chef-0.10.2/lib/chef/knife/core/ui.rb:96:in `color?': undefined method `[]' for Config:Module (NoMethodError)

from /Users/haim/.rvm/gems/ /gems/chef-0.10.2/lib/chef/knife/bootstrap.rb:137:in `run'

from test.rb:4

Is there any easy way to run it? 

Thanks in advance
