I've created a new role "foo".

It's blank (no cookbooks/recipes associated with it).

I've added that role to a node's runlist.

but It's still not showing up as a role:

C:\chef>knife node show coolserver
Node Name:   coolserver
Environment: _default
FQDN:        coolserver.coolcompany.com
IP:          10.45.161.109
Run List:    role[somerole], role[someotherrole]
Roles:       somerole
Recipes:     coolrecipe
Platform:    windows 6.1.7601

Even in its current state:

knife search node "role:somerole"

doesn't work (returns "0 items found").

Any suggestions?  This totally takes knife-based-deployments out of the equation for us...

Did chef-client run in between you adding the role to the client and the search? It will only be indexed on a successful chef-client run.

Hi all -

I'm now trying to do some knife work and when I do this:

C:\chef>knife node list -c c:/chef/client.rb -E dev01
<somedev01node>

(just one result - which is expected)

I get one thing, but when I run the search:

knife search node "chef_environment:dev01 and node_name:<somedev01node>" -c c:/chef/client.rb

I get back every node including things in the "_default" environment.

What am I doing wrong?
