[chef] Any way to reference chef DSL in erb templates?

[Geoff Meakin Acid < >]

Hi all,

In one of my cookbook template .erb files I am trying to do this:

<%
appservers=search(:node, 'roles:appserver')
appservers.each do |appserver| 
%>

server <%= appserver.automatic_attrs["fqdn"] %>

<% end %>

This works when I use 'shef' on the chef-client node

But when I run chef-client, the following fatal error is being produced:

Chef::Mixin::Template::TemplateError (undefined method `search' for 
#<Erubis::Context:0x7f294e418830>) on line #3


What am I doing wrong? Do I need to somehow import the chef DSL? Thanks
