[chef] Re: Running knife bootstrap programatically

[Haim Ashkenazi < >]

Hi

The following code also raised the same error as in the original message:

require 'rubygems'

require 'chef/knife/bootstrap'

kb = Chef::Knife::Bootstrap.new

kb.name_args = "ec2-107-20-48-203.compute-1.amazonaws.com"

kb.config[:ssh_user] = "ubuntu"

kb.config[:run_list] = "role[test]"

kb.config[:use_sudo] = true

kb.run

:(

Bye

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

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
