[chef] passing attributes to recipes

[Steffen Fricke < >]

Hello,

 

 

I’m relatively new to chef and I try to figure out, how to pass variable attributes like build file names or build numbers to chef recipes. So the best would be if I could add/overwrite a given attribute in a role/environment by it to knife via command line like: knife environment edit [env_name] “attribute_key=attribute_value”.

 

Is there a recommended way of doing that?

 

Thanks in advance,

Steffen
